I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work. I'm a pain in the ass to all of the costume designers with whom I work because I have very strong feelings about the subject.
I think we all think we sound really good in the shower, where there's that nice reverb, and the water's drowning you out, and there is some liberation in the freedom of being totally alone and really going for it.
I was offered, within one year, three different witch roles. It was almost like the world was saying - or the studios were saying - 'We don't know what to do with you.'
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.

I think she probably had three records out, and she was 21, and we had them all. And I knew every single song, every breath, every elision, every swell. And I sang along to it.
As one can solve maths by concentrating do I focus on certain places in my body and generate heat because of it. - Wim Hof
Breathing and using cold, through cold showers and experiences, provides a boost of performance compared to anything that would be possible if the person had not done that. - Wim Hof
