“A lot of what I was wanting to do in my work and what I have been doing has been about the unexpected... that unexpected situation of wanting to be the heroine and yet wanting to kill the heroine at the same time.”

“I don't know how much I believe in redemptive stories, even though people want them and strive for them.”

“I knew I wanted to be an artist, but I didn't really know what it was I wanted to say.”

“I don't subscribe to the idea of a first and second heroine. I go by if a role is strong.”

“I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine.”

“I'm happy with my commercial heroine tag.”
