What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you?

I left our home to work on a movie, and while I was away, my boyfriend [Billy Bob Thorton] got married, and I've never heard from him again.

We like our archetypes and heroes to be what they are at face value. And life doesn't work out like that.

It's a strange world, as David Lynch would say.

I like to play people who are deeply flawed, and I want to find the good nature in them. I even try to be kind to myself when I've made big mistakes.

I don't think I've stopped being an artist because I'm not showing my work now.
