Quote
1
[on Ride with the Devil (1999)] I asked [the director], 'Why me? You could've had anyone you wanted'. And he said, 'You have period teeth'. So I got the job because I was the only actress in Hollywood who hadn't gotten her teeth fixed!
2
[on why she has not fixed her teeth] I just don't like pain. I never wanted braces... People have always loved my snaggletooth, which is hilarious. It should be my logo! I've never felt like it didn't make me sexy.

[about her song "Daddy"] "I was seven years old and went to a friend's house for dinner. (...) The father came and turned the TV off and punished the children because they weren't allowed to watch black people on TV."

Cynicism isn't smarter; it's only safer. There's nothing fluffy about optimism.
