Christina Ricci
I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified.
I am a Christian. I haven't really talked about that before. It is something very private. But I do pray and my beliefs are very important to me.
I like the way my own feet smell. I love to smell my sneakers when I take them off.
I'm immature.
This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac. They look just like everyone else.
I've never been to a race car race before.
I think that the best career that someone can have is one that's reflective of their personal tastes.
I went through an awkward adolescence and had braces.
My brother always teases me about my forehead: 'I could eat off it!'
Any obsession is dangerous.
I think the main reason a lot of child stars don't make it is that it's hard to see someone as cute and then all of a sudden see them as having more depth.
I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.
I think my anorexia was to do with being a teenager, not being in films.
I want a Mini-Cooper because it's fuel efficient, emissions efficient and all that stuff. It's small and better for the environment. I think that will be my next car.
I knew I would never be cast as the pretty girl.
The movies I made early on may not have been great, but they were all commercially successful.
I was a big sci-fi fantasy geek when I was younger... secretly, in my room.
I tend to fight for something that I believe in.
I'm an actor who hates dialogue and the present day and reality.
I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.
I think that I need to work on being comfortable at being normal, everyday-ish on camera. Unlike a lot of actors, I think that's the thing that I'm not so comfortable with.
I feel like some of the best talent is on TV right now, with the writing, acting and great directors. I've also been looking for the consistency of work that TV provides for you. And, I always thought it would be really interesting to live with a character for months, if not years.
I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.
I would love to fly privately, but unfortunately, I don't. I don't summer anywhere either.
The whole growing-up process seems to have eluded me.
I've been to therapists my whole life. I find the less attention I pay to food, the healthier I am. Any obsession is dangerous. And a whole country that's obsessed with one thing, unless it's, like, jeans, it's very dangerous. Everyone's obsessed right now with carbohydrates in this country. It's ridiculous.
My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.
I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.
It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.
I've always been a really ambitious person.
I think I've always been interested in playing people who are judged very harshly.
There are a lot of theories about Shakespeare.
I guess I'm a workaholic!
I don't come from money.
I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn't fit me.
I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
I'm really open to everything.
When you're doing something where you really like the material, it doesn't matter what medium it's in.
I mean, I sing. But I don't think I'm a good enough singer to do any kind of musical.
We all have insecurities, and the thing that makes them crippling is that we all have the ability to blow them up into such huge issues in our minds, that we might as well have a facial deformity. It keeps us from really going out there and living our lives, and forgetting about hating yourself and just experiencing the world around you.
We might all be so afraid to be who we are, but in the end, it's really you're individual, unique qualities that make you attractive to people.
This life that I've led has been really well suited for me.
To play someone who is who they are because of the happiness and contentedness that they've known in their life is interesting because of sort of how banal it is.
Well, I think I've had a fairly meandering career.
You won't see me in a better mood than 4:00 in the morning on my way to work.
My sister discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia. Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album.
I'm one of those people who loves to fly.
I love the solitude of being on a plane and finally getting to read an entire book and being left alone.
I could easily exist on less money, but I like the way I live now.
