I like as much time as i can get and i'll do whatever i think is helpful to prepare for a role. sometimes it's practical research, meaning if i had to write shorthand, i'd learn how to write shorthand. or if i have to know how to dance a certain way, i would learn that. and then there's just research of talking to people similar to the characters i'm playing. and there's stuff that i just feel is inspiring, whether it be music or a painting or a photograph. i've used a lot of nan goldin's photos in the past to inspire me. i use certain paintings and pieces of music.

More From Jennifer Jason Leigh

How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. i had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. it is a melancholy truth that i will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. i am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. to photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

The time i like listening to music most on headphones is, i have a game i play with my brother, he's a musician as well.and he sends me midi files of keyboard pieces. so, these are pieces where i just get a midi file; i don't know what instrument he was playing them on; i know nothing about his section of the sound of the piece, and then when i'm sitting on trains i do a lot of train travel i turn them into pieces of music. and i love to do that; it's my favorite hobby.

I decided i would put off the novel until i had gone to europe and had a lover, and that i would never learn a word of shorthand. if i never learned shorthand i would never have to use it.

I don't even think of myself as a quote, unquote star - that's really douchey. i think of myself as just like . . . a dance commander. you have to have dance parties all day and night, and you always have to be excited about having a dance party. you have to have a dance party in milan one day, and then wake up and have a dance party at, like, four in the morning on national television in l.a. the next day. the hours are insane.

Between two fantasy alternatives, that holbein the younger had lived long enough to have painted shakespeare or that a prototype of the camera had been invented early enough to have photographed him, most bardolators would choose the photograph. this is not just because it would presumably show what shakespeare really looked like, for even if the photograph were faded, barely legible, a brownish shadow, we would probably still prefer it to another glorious holbein. having a photograph of shakespeare would be like having a nail from the true cross.
Two Long Shadow
I like characters. i like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. i think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and i like characters.

Scientific thought - indeed, any mode of thought, whether it be religious or philosophical or anything else - is just like the fashions that we wear - only much longer lived. it's a little like a boy band.

They think him the best dressed man, whose dress is so fit for his use that you cannot notice or remember to describe it.

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. i use these elements like notes to play with.

In childbirth, as in other human endeavors, fashions start with the rich, are then adopted by the aspirant middle class with an assist from the ever-watchful media, and may or may not eventually filter down to the poor.
