- Stated in 2009 interview that she had also been diagnosed with mild schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, Tourette's syndrome and chronic insomnia.
- Stated in a 2002 interview that she suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Syndrome. Her condition became particularly acute in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
- Turned down the lead in Pretty Woman (1990) due to being cast as Cher's daughter Charlotte in Mermaids (1990), a role she ultimately lost to Winona Ryder.
- Was originally set to play the lead in Tank Girl (1995), but dropped out when she refused to shave her head for the part. The role ultimately went to Lori Petty.
- Originally cast in the role of Rain in Husbands and Wives (1992), and footage was shot. Director Woody Allen decided it wasn't working, and replaced her with Juliette Lewis.
- I see the horrible way some stars deal with other people, and I don't know how they get away with it. Maybe it comes back to them in a different karma.
- I feel guilty sometimes. It may be that innate English nature - the need to think that you must've done something wrong if you're a success. It's sometimes better if you can say: 'Okay, I'm a failure; now will you be my friend?'.
- [on suffering with insomnia] I was back on track, raring to go and then the insomnia kicked in. When you don't sleep, your faculties are not as sharp as they would normally be. My memory has been affected, I'm not as mentally agile as I would be if I were sleeping properly. I can't work because to act you need to be able to learn your lines and I can't do that at the moment. Insomnia is awful. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
- [on suffering with mental illness] I am fighting this. I want to get better, I want to work again. I do believe we are architects of our destinies, but with me somewhere along the line something came loose.
