Biografia

Has not spoken to her parents since the release of Boogie Nights: Prazer Sem Limites (1997).

Was forced to turn down the lead role in Atração Mortal (1989), because her parents thought the language was too risque.

Was among over 80 women who accused Harvey Weinstein in sexual harassment or assault in October 2017.

She subscribed to BBC America so she could study the accents of the characters in the popular British soap opera EastEnders (1985) for her role as "Mary Kelly" in the "Ripper" thriller Do Inferno (2001) in 2001. She particularly focused on "Kat Slater"'s cockney "East End" intonation.

Originally auditioned to play "Amber Waves" in Boogie Nights: Prazer Sem Limites (1997) but ultimately ended up playing the Roller Girl.

I love telling dirty jokes. Sex is funny.

[on sex] It's an aspect of my personality. Sex is a part of who I am and it took me a long time to feel good about it. I wasn't sure if it was good or bad to be a person who really enjoys sex.

I always wanted to be the pretty girl, but I thought I wasn't. When I started acting and getting pretty girl roles, I felt like I was just pretending, and nobody saw I was just this big nerd.

I sleep as much as I want. I'll sleep like 11 hours, unless I'm working. Sometimes I do feel like - this is weird, I should just get up so I can fit into the world. Then I'm like - why? I don't have a nine-to-five job.

I'm not the kind of person who needs to be a mother no matter what. Life brings you people. Maybe I'll nurture someone who's not my child, like a friend, or an actor I'm working with who needs some love.
