 "I get so protective of David [Lynch], like an older sister or something, which is so absurd. He`s not waiting for us to get the movie because he doesn`t think the cinema is about `getting it`. I think he believes - which I`ve found very rare in filmmakers - in the intelligence of the audience, that they`re intelligent enough to discover the film and what it means within themselves." "It`s really fun to act like a bimbo. But it`s fun to act like a bimbo only when people know that you really aren`t one."
