- (On working on her film Timemaster (1995)) "It was so awful. We turn the 'M' upside down and called it Timewaster".
- (On Heath Ledger after his death): He had an uncontrollable energy. He buzzed. He would jump out of bed. For as long as I'd known him, he had bouts with insomnia. He just had too much energy. His mind was turning, turning, turning - always turning. He had a talent for everything that he put his mind to. He didn't know limits. I think that the interesting thing about Heath, which maybe people have only really fully discovered in his death, his how vulnerable he was. You can pick up on it in his performances, but it's easy to overlook because he was so physical and beautiful and strong and masculine. But there was always that underlying sensitivity. That's who he was.
- I can't watch myself (in movies). I used to think I was cool. Now, my standpoint is that I can't be fair. So I can't pass any judgment.
- (Of her former partner, Heath Ledger) His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still.

- "There was a weird, innate kind of understanding between me and Christina (Ricci). A psychic told us we were sisters in a past life."
- Beyonce and Kelly to me are like sisters.
- We had lived in blissful anonymity until that story came out. There were photographers around the next day.
- Just seeing him (on television) and being able to see his eyes and his reaction to his rescue just took a huge load off my shoulders.

- In ten years, I would like to live on a river and to be known to be in one of the most succesful singing groups.
