Contexto: I like digging into these characters that are a lot more complex, and there's a lot that isn't apparent on the surface … In a weird way, you can access all that fear and pain. … Nothing makes me happier than when somebody figures out I was in something, and then they'd seen me in something else, and had no idea it was the same person… Then I feel like I've done my job. … I've always loved finding characters that are not always the most likable ones when you first meet them, and finding a way to make them people that viewers will identify with, even against their better judgment.
“I don't consider myself to be a quote-unquote "good girl". I'm not prim and proper and polite.”
Filmcritic.com interview (2000)
Contexto: I don't consider myself to be a quote-unquote "good girl". I'm not prim and proper and polite. I'm very honest, and I love talking about sex, or people's deviances. I love psychology. I like listening to or talking about any personality traits that are unusual. That's what I like about acting.
“I'm bruised again,
I wear it well,
The self-inflicted tale they tell.”

Lyrics, Alicia Witt (2009)
Contexto: I'm bruised again,
I wear it well,
The self-inflicted tale they tell.
I singed my hair,
I broke my nails.
You'd love me then,
If all else failed.
The night was long and dark and just
Another dagger to my trust.
I thrust it in until I bleed
I wiped my point for you to see. And anyway,
It's over now.
Nothing left to say.
I don't know why,
I don't care how,
It's over anyway.
It's broken in pieces.
You've got the space you needed.
Too late to try,
Just say good-bye
It's over anyway.

“They got you wrong,
You're not that strong.
I don't belong here!”
"Anyway"
Lyrics, Alicia Witt (2009)
Contexto: My so-called faith went up in flames
Till I believed in all your lies,
For the life of me I don't know why.
They got you wrong,
You're not that strong.
I don't belong here!
AOL Live (1996)
Contexto: I just tend to admire people who go for what they believe in, like David Lynch for example, and just say what goes through their heads, and are not afraid of people not accepting them. I have no respect for people who deliberately try to be weird to attract attention, but if that's who you honestly are, you shouldn't try to "normalize yourself". It's a fine line.
“Whatever you've accomplished there's always more to experience.”
