I Tend To Fight For Something That

If An Audience Doesn't Get That [black Snake Moan] Is A Movie About Overcoming Exploitation, It Could Come Across As Incredibly Misogynistic. That Would Be The Worst Thing In The World For Me.

I Don't Think I Like Characters Who Are Afraid And Ashamed Of Who They Are.

When I Was A Little Girl - Well, Like, A Teenager - I Wanted To Be Sam Jackson. I Always Wanted To Be Men.

Any Obsession Is Dangerous.

To Craig's [ Brewer] Credit, I Felt Totally Safe On The Set [of Black Snake Moan] . And Because I Felt Safe, Sam[l.jackson] Had To Protect Me. He Got Upset At All The Physical Stuff Craig Wanted Me To Do. When I Start Doing Stuff Like That, All The Screaming And Running, I Kinda Go Out Of My Head. I'm Not Necessarily In My Own Body Anymore.
