'Heathers' was probably the first time when I started to notice that people were opening doors for me and giving me tables at restaurants, regardless of what I was wearing. A whole world opened up to me that was shocking and weird and different, and I enjoyed it, and, you know, I took great advantage of it at times.

I love 'Heathers,' and I loved doing that movie. I'm very proud of it, so if it gets brought up, I'm happy.

I've loved making movies. I feel like I've been so lucky because I've gotten to be in movies that are some of my favorites, regardless of my being in them - like 'Heathers.'

People always say, 'Why don't you make more movies like 'Heathers'?' And I say, 'I've been trying for 20 years.'

After that, I was offered lots of lesbian roles, but I didn't want them because I'd already played the best there was.

I'm all in favor of people - myself included - going into the same territory if there's something that can be done with it. But if somebody says, 'Make a sequel to 'Heathers',' I feel like, no, someone should make a good movie that's a dark, satirical comedy that has that sensibility.

I was fired from a movie because I did 'Heathers!' I was cast in a movie, and the director saw an advance screening and was offended by it and fired me.

Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie and she knows why my marriage ended with Charlie.

I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.
