[about watching the black-and-white "loops" made in the 1940s and 1950s by Bettie Page in order to understand her character in The Notorious Bettie Page (2005)] I love the loops! I couldn't take my eyes off of them. It was five minutes dedicated to the art of the shoe, and putting the shoe on--but first the stocking. It was so geisha. There was something so presentational. Bettie was just lost in her own world, dancing around with this fringe bikini on, with this weird lamp on the side table.

I never really have had, at its core, an issue with nudity in films except that I know when I think it's exploitative and when I think it's beautiful.

I wish I could say I have this kind of big plan, but now, so much of it is what comes along the pike, and then, you just say, there's something about that role that just tickles me or sort of feels right.
