On what Harvey Weinstein said to her after allegedly being photographed with a woman

You know, I’ve been to dinner with both of them, with a bunch of people, you know, he had a wife and kids, seems safe, right. And he got my number. I was doing a movie called Face of an Angel in Italy. And he called me up and said, ‘There are images of you,’ and he named some famous women I’ve been seen with. And he was like, ‘I don’t need to know.’ He said, ‘Are you sleeping with them?’ or whatever. I was like, ‘I don’t know if that’s your business.’ And he was like, ‘Well, you can’t be with women. You’ll never be an actress. You’ll never be hired. People don’t want, you know, we’ll have to find your boyfriend. At least if you’re gonna do that, just do it behind closed doors.’ And I was like, what the f-ck is this? I was, and also, but at that point, that wasn’t my reaction. I was like, ‘Oh f-ck, I’ve always wanted to act like this is such a big deal for me. I can’t.’”

On when she knew she had a problem with drugs

I knew it was bad when I started doing them alone and how much I liked that and how much I knew that people weren’t judging me and I didn’t judge myself for it, and I could disappear. And that I knew it was a problem and that was beyond.

But with work, it’s not a problem because I’m working, I’m making money…I would be in a state where I’d definitely be more f-cked up than other people, but I am going to work when you’re twenties, you can kind of do that a little more, but then my body just couldn’t take it, you know?

I think I also, again, I think the kind of suicidal ideation came back around when I was at my height of fame, when I should have been the most happy and I felt the most guilty and I felt the most, like I didn’t deserve any of it. And I was so close to ending my life….music at that moment really saved me. Because a song came on, on shuffle when I was alone in this hotel room. And it was a song that played at a friend’s funeral who died of an overdose.

And in that one moment I was like, ‘What am I doing? Why am I doing this? I can’t believe that I’m in this place.’ And I threw all the drugs down the toilet and so yeah, it had been a problem. But when you’re successful and when you seem you’re doing great, you have your hair makeup done, it’s kind of fine. People make excuses, people are making money. You’re paying for people’s lives and jobs and kids, you know, you don’t wanna stop. You don’t wanna say no.
