Anne Heche's quotes |

“The therapists didn't know, ... The therapists knew about my abuse. The therapists knew about the shame I was enduring. ... But the therapists never knew the extent of the world that I created to get out of the shame of my abuse.”
“This Nonsense about my mother praying for me is really making me angry. My mother never approved of my relationship with Ellen. Her hatred for our relationship is one of the many things that ultimately led to my breaking off all communication with her. (My mother, that is, not Ellen.)”
“[Filming was arduous because the stars did their own stunts.] He told me how to keep safe, ... He was always taking care of me, helping me know about the explosives before we had to jump off the boat.”
“The whole shooting process of 'Psycho' was amazing in that way, because I felt like I had been chosen to remake history,”
“Of all ways to do a remake, ... I think Gus chose the most incredible way, because what he's saying is 'I honor you.' This is like more praise to Hitchcock than anybody who would take another film, and remake it, and try to make it different. Gus is saying, 'Not only am I not going to make it different, I'm going to honor you every step of the way.'”
“By the end of the movie, we decided we weren't even actors, ... You know, we're just kind of people who go in and transform into a story, and hope that it touches people. We're both emotional people, and let's just see where this goes, and hope that it's truthful.”
“Vibrators. I think they are great. They keep you out of stupid sex. I'd pitch them to anybody.”
“I'm always honest, whether I'm in the limelight or not.”
“It's important to talk about loving yourself and looking at your tragedies and the stuff that makes you grow.”
“And as a child, we have such a wonderful thing as children, that we can just make the best of everything, and say, Well, this must be what everybody else is experiencing, and I've got to make the best of it. You don't know that it's not good until you witness something that it seems better.”
“Ellen and I had a three and a half year relationship that ended sadly, not because we were both women, but because we both wanted different things for our lives,”
“You know, so many things get redone -- music gets remade, Shakespeare gets remade,”
“It's the same scene, but because it's in color, certainly it has a little more of the shock value,”
“I wanted to talk about stuff that people don't talk about so that maybe they would talk about it, ... So ... maybe they could save themselves from going crazy.”
“Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.”
“What Norman Bates calls for is for an actor to be able to go into their insanity, ... Vince is one of the few people I think who's willing to go into that duplicity in himself, and that insanity, and say, 'You know what? Now I'll show it to you.' I think that we're going to love his Norman Bates, because he's showing you himself in ways that nobody else would have the courage to do. It's an amazing performance.”
“But that kind of went along with the imagery, for me, of the bird, the flightiness, the lightness, the light-footedness. So we literally timed out that scene in one shot to be the same exact timing as what Hitchcock and Janet Leigh had originally done, down to where she puts the money.”
“He's the guy who is every woman's dream and the man who's every man's dream.”
“We decided, OK, we're going to look at the scene every time before we shoot it, ... And Vince and I went, and we looked, and literally down to the body language of when he hands her the pen, how she ducks in from the rain, how she turns to walk out the door, whether she turns to the left or turns to the right. I wanted to hold my purse the same way, to show how specific you can get, and how different it will be, according to what the mind of a person is.”
“I wish I could say there was some big fear of mine after that, but the whole three and a half days that it took to shoot were just hilarious, and I heard that Janet Leigh had this thing where she wouldn't take a shower after that, but I actually came home and took a shower,”
“It's my job, to create a fantasy.”
“I've always kind of gone with my heart.”
“I loved the character, but the challenge, to me, became making this character exactly new and modern in exactly the same behavior and language that was already done, ... Because she wanted to be married, she wanted to risk everything to be with this man, and oftentimes, women are so willing to give and give and give and give, and actually receive so little. And this guy comes in once every couple of weeks and has sex with her in a motel room. This is not a guy to steal $400,000 for.”
“And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn't be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother's prayers had anything to do with me marrying a man, forget it.”
“We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person.”
“This is an absolute blast!”
“I was raised to pretend.”
