AMBER HEARD

I come from a place where I find it hard to identify with a label.

I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the 'Saw' movies.

I'm a good shot and I love guns - I own several.

I think there's a part when you sign your soul to the devil and start working in Los Angeles that you also sign away that you could be a human being in anyone's eye. You're like a robot!

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

You feel better when you're eating food that retains nutritional value.

Models are just mannequins seeking validation at the hands of sleazy fashion people.

I love my horror films and they will always be very close to me.

I would love to see women be able to be powerful, complex, smart, opinionated and taken seriously, even if they are beautiful. Even more, I would love to see women held to different standards, other than the superficial ones that we're held to.

When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.

One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film.

I get tickets all the time and can't stay under the speed limit. I'm bad at that.

I don't feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who they love or they were born how they were born.

I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you're inadvertently admitting it's wrong.

It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.

I have been in my fair share of both onscreen and off screen fights.

Injustice can never be stood for.

All I've ever needed is myself.

Every article I've read about myself always winds up concluding that I am not, in fact, completely stupid.

School was a waste of time for me. I was bored and left at 16. I started taking correspondence courses at college instead. I did incredibly well. I won an award for my grades.

If you want to do something, you find a way.

Once you start working out, you feel better and it becomes something you make time to do.

I think I've always had a certain amount of skepticism of this whole 'shut up and smile' theory. I haven't ever swallowed that pill so easily, although I tried.

I went to a Catholic school but did not really fit in.

It's my job in Hollywood to find roles where I get to be a character not a bathing suit.
