ON LEAVING SCHOOL AT AGE 16
[My parents] didn't really want me do and when I think about it now I
can't believe I made that decision, but I was so naive and so positive about it, I had no idea
of the negative sides, or that I would fail. I didn't even conceive that I may fail. It was
just this is what I was going to do.

ON WORKING WITH RUSSELL CROWE IN "SPOTSWOOD"
Russell took me out, got me drunk, gave me pot and wiped up the vomit when I couldn't handle
it.

ON WORKING WITH MIRAMAX ON "COSI"
Miramax wanted me to shave my underarm hair, which I did not want to do. I was playing a junkie.
I did end up keeping it. I felt that since I was creating the character, I should be in
control of all bodily hair.

ON FUTURE VISIONS
"I have this fantasy of being this old woman with dreadlocks, growing my
own herbs and vegetables near the rain forest and beach, with kids running around the place.
It will be a reality one day, but I have a lot to do first."

ON BUYING A HOUSE
Buying a house scared me, I was so used to running around the world. So
now I have more sense of responsibility, not to my property but to people. I spent six years
living out of a suitcase. Going home is so comforting."

ON GREENPEACE
"Greenpeace does an important job in protecting our environment. I'd urge everyone to get out
there and do something simple and enjoyable for the planet."

ON HER OSCAR NOMINATION FOR "THE SIXTH SENSE"
After I got over the nerves… Thank God, Best Supporting Actress is pretty
much one of the first categories they get through. After that I was out of my own kind of
parameter and checking everything else out and it's fascinating. The people you grow up
looking at, they're right there. It's interesting... I remember Keanu Reeves walking right in
front of me and saying, "Good evening, ma'am," and thinking, "I'm not a ma'am!"

ON HER "IN HER SHOES" CO-STAR SHIRLEY MACLAINE
She’s a very strong person, very opinionated, and I really appreciate the
fact that there’s absolutely no crap with her. What she says is what she means, and it’s very
refreshing.

| WHAT HER COLLEAGUES SAY... |
ROBIN WILLIAMS
She is amazing to work with. She is a chameleon and coming from me that’s a compliment. She
really transforms herself; she can go from being drop dead gorgeous to being vulnerable to
being hideously frightening. She is a great actress. And kick ass funny.
