Heather’s Personal Quotes:

 

"As an actress, it's fun to do rageful things. Most of the parts I read are for girlfriends who are nagging, needy and pathetic. They're all like 'Honey, stay with me! And don't endanger yourself! This movie is about all the exciting things that you're doing! I love you! Let's have a family together!' I just don't understand them. I have no idea where they're coming from."

"I'm a nice Catholic girl, just like Madonna."

"As a woman, it’s easy to think, do people like my body? Instead of, what do I think?"

"I'm still trying to learn to be confident, to be more assertive in a lot of areas in my life. But it’s not easy, because I wasn't brought up to say "I want this, give me that." But when you do say that, and then someone actually listens, it’s incredibly empowering."

"I'd rather be myself and risk being misunderstood than get overly self-conscious."

"It was the timing in my life. I got a lot out of doing Rollergirl. I've gotten a lot from every director, but, psychologically, that role gave me a lot of confidence. - On Boogie Nights"

"I used to think that to be good; I needed a good director to bring it out of me. For me, Boogie Nights was a turning point. This time, I thought, I was in a good situation, but I did it. I'm so much more confident now. Like, night and day from when I started off."

"I was raised as really goody-two shoes. I was made to feel guilty for even thinking about a boy. But when I saw Harrison Ford kissing Karen Allen in Raiders of the Lost Ark, I fell in love with the movies and the opposite sex."

"I thought I needed to be successful to be somebody. At the same time, growing up in a strict household, it was like, 'Don't ever do a movie with sex in it. Don't do anything risky because we don't want to be embarrassed by you.' But then I started to do things to make me happy. You figure out who you are and accept it."

"Everyone thinks I'm a bimbo because I'm pretty and blondish. If that's what they think, that's totally fine. I'm not here for the hypey bullshit Hollywood stuff. All I want out of this are good jobs."
