- I like a good story at a good diner over good coffee and a good idea and a whole day to think about it.
- I think walking around reminding yourself that you're a woman is only going to get you in trouble. Women in film, the way they've been treated, certainly parts of it are a shame, but they took the paycheque, they played the roles, and if they don't want to do it anymore, we need to start saying no, and different roles will come up.
- (On her film Boxing Helena (1993)): "It's a metaphor and a comedy".
- On Boxing Helena (1993) - I see it as a love story, not a horror film. The image of Venus de Milo is so powerful. Obsessive love is like a series of amputations as you steal from one another. It's inviting, exciting, animalistic. I've been there; I've been drawn to it.
- About her car accident and spinal surgeries - The fact that I get to walk down the red carpet tonight and hold my daughter's hand is a big deal - they didn't even know if I'd walk at one point.
- On working with Sherilyn Fenn in Boxing Helena (1993) - Sherilyn is an amazing actress, a total bundle of energy and a real powerhouse. I have with Sherilyn something I didn't think I'd ever find and that is the entire whole.
- If there's one gift I've been given from both my parents, it's the idea that you make the work you want to make - the joy is in the making. Once it's done, you let it go, and you move on.
- It's great to have fallen flat on my face and to stand up again... I have more to say in a much more mature voice.
- On Boxing Helena (1993) - The film became a huge target and it never had a chance. I'd be lying if I told you it all didn't really mess my head up.
