I think certain people like to torture me because they think I've had it easier than I actually have and they think: 'Oh, she's got this, she's got that, she's always had everything perfect,' and it's sooo not true.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a certain consistency to who I am and what I do, and I think people have finally said, 'Well, you know, I kinda get her now.' I've actually had people say that to me.
I think being tortured as a virtue is a kind of antiquated sense of what it is to be an artist. It comes out of that Symbolist idea, back to Rimbaud and all that disordering of the senses and all of that being some exalted state. When I've been that way, I've always been less exalted than I would have liked.
I think I'm a tough person, but for sure, I would talk under torture.
When you have girl children they torture you!
I've always been someone who is pretty hard on herself. But I've lightened up a lot.
The idea that every time you do a film you're supposed to be tortured confuses me. I mean, guys who say, 'Oh, it's really tough, my character is really suffering' -come on. For us, even in the rotten ones we've had a good time. I don't think you have to suffer.
Honestly, you could beat me, torture me - just don't bore me.
I think I have a superior brain and an inferior stature, if you really want to get brutal about it.
I torture my mother with all my problems, that poor woman.
I guess I feel so tortured most of the time, when I see someone else feeling tortured, I get a little perverse glee out of it.
