I'm a fatalist.

Death is very often referred to as a good career move.

The true measure of a career is to be able to be content, even proud, that you succeeded through your own endeavors without leaving a trail of casualties in your wake.

I think the kind of career I've had, something would have had to be sacrificed.

One thing about being successful is that I stopped being afraid of dying. Once you're a star you're dead already. You're embalmed.

A lot of the qualities in 'Killing and Dying' is sort of a response to work I'd done previously. I wanted to push myself in some different directions.

I think most of my career has been built on conviction and the personality to carry that image or stride confidently on the catwalk. That was my beginning and, hopefully, my legacy.

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer; I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That's what my life was.
