Now My Body Is Really Womanly -

Our Society Doesn't Want To Help Girls Like That [in Black Snake Moan]. They Just Want To Use Them.

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.

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.

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

I Think The Thing That I Always Try To Do - Because It Piques My Interest - Is To Play Really Different Parts All The Time.
