Personal Quotes
[on why she made ‘9 Songs’] I wanted to make a film about something I really believe in, which is to show sex in a very positive light, as a very important piece of everyday life and a very important piece of a relationship, whether it’s successful or unsuccessful. What I find in films I see is that sex is always a turning point in action, someone’s cheating on someone, or someone dies. It’s always the kids having sex in horror films that die. And I didn’t like that. And in the sexually explicit films I’ve seen like Ai No Corrida [the Japanese classic in which the heroine cuts off her partner’s penis], they’re crazy, people don’t do that, it’s not normal!
People ask me if I felt that Michael Winterbottom took advantage of me because I hadn’t acted before, but they forget that I developed the character. I am not at all like Lisa, and I was genuinely shocked by the reaction to the film and, particularly, to my role in it.
It was a film about love and sex. It wasn’t porn. I mean, I had sex with my boyfriend last night and that wasn’t porn. It was just hot sex! 9 Songs (2004) was a real film about love and sex, and I wanted to do that film and I am proud of it.
I had to go to church at least twice a week. We were told sex was bad and sex was wrong, and if you had sex outside marriage you’d die and stuff. I found it all very depressing.
People were really angry with me. When I did press conferences people would shout abuse at me. You’d think I invented sex! I got told I was a whore and a slut and how could I do it. And what kind of role model did I think I was giving young women?
When you have been brought up as a religious person, when it has been part of your everyday life, you feel lost without it. It’s as though I couldn’t continue without religion in my life.
[on 9 Songs (2004)] I honestly can say it hasn’t affected my career. I don’t get seen only for roles as women who have sex a lot.
At 20, I auditioned with the director Michael Winterbottom for the lead in his controversial and sexually explicit film 9 Songs (2004). I wanted people to question their own moral identities as I had. I wanted the audience to ask themselves, “Why don’t I like this?” “Why does this bother me?” I sacrificed myself, so that the audience could find out a little more about themselves.
I have found out so much about myself by questioning the simple things around me and one of those discoveries is that I don’t actually have a problem with sex. That was something that had been drummed into me in South Carolina by a culture that deems sex as dirty and bad. Sex breaks up marriages and spreads disease. Sex will send you to hell. After mistrusting everything I had been taught because I grew up and realized I was surrounded by uneducated dimwits, I had started to mistrust a lot of what society deems appropriate and inappropriate.
[on fox hunting] Hunting with guns back home seemed wrong to me, but seeing a pack of hounds follow their natural urge is so majestic. Why would anyone ban such a thing? It’s ridiculous.
