I Think My Anorexia Was To Do

My Brother Always Teases Me About My Forehead: 'i Could Eat Off It!'

I Mean, I Don't Like Anyone Who Likes Themselves Too Much.

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.

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.

To Be Honest, I Don't Usually Do Very Much Research, Especially If I'm Working With A Director Who Also Wrote The Screenplay. They've Usually Done A Tonne Of Research. And They'll Tell You About It From Their Perspective Which Is Better Than Doing Your Own Research.
