Amber Heard

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!

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

I grew up in Texas, and people love their American-made muscle cars there. I grew up around people who loved cars and took care of cars and my dad's a big car nut, so I learned a little bit about cars - how to love them, most importantly. I think that from the time I could remember, I've always envisioned myself in a vintage muscle car.

I'm fighting for the right to get married. For other people.

For someone like me, who prefers to keep their life as private as possible, it was disconcerting to have to define so much about myself. I don't want to be labeled as one thing or another.

I've always lived my life the way I wanted and been honest with myself and everyone around me.

I wanted to be a disgusting, oozing zombie, not a sexy, cleavage zombie, which is what I was expecting, given my previous film work.

I'd love to teach a self-defense class for ladies, specifically about running away from psychos in masks chasing them with chainsaws.

My favorite go-to modeling move was called \'Be hungry.\' That was it. You just stand there, and be hungry. And that's all I have to say about the modeling industry.

Some of my best friends in LA are devoutly religious people. I'm completely supportive and interested in people doing their own thing. That's a motto that I try to live by, and I hope that's how other people treat me. Live and let live.

I can definitely make an argument for atheism. I was very educated in scripture and dogma and the church, particularly the Catholic Church. I could not possibly know that I disagreed with religion unless I knew what I was disagreeing with.

By the time I was seventeen, I was on my way to Hollywood and didn't look back. My family is supportive now, but like any adult guardian of a seventeen-year-old daughter, they were not thrilled with my plan to run off to the LA to make it as an actress. Even a somewhat functioning parent would think that was a bad, bad idea. Lucky for me, I didn't listen to them.

I didn't drop out of school, I placed out of it. I took correspondence courses and ended up graduating early. I did everything I could to get the hell out of there.

I had always been a reader and a skeptic, so when I was old enough to break away from organized religion, it just came naturally.

I always felt like an outcast at school. I had good friends, but none that I truly related to.

For as long as I can remember, I've been the kind of person who goes against the grain and questions authority, and that doesn't make for an ideal religious follower.

I was a lifeguard. It was my summer job growing up, and I never saved anyone. I never had to, thank goodness.

When I run on the beach, it's always in slow motion. That's just how I roll.

I don't shoot anything. I could never kill an animal. My dad does all the hunting, and he eats everything that he kills.

I do not hope somebody breaks in. However, if they did, I pity them. I pity the fool that breaks into my house.

I've been around responsible gun ownership my whole life.

My dad used to take my younger sister Whitney and I to the firing range, and he'd stand behind us as we shot. We were tiny, tiny girls, only about ten years old at the time, so the recoil when we pulled the trigger would send us flying backwards. But he'd stand behind us and make sure we were safe.

I am my father's daughter. It was not up to me growing up. I was his hunting and fishing buddy, so I've been shooting my whole life.

I'm pretty confusing. But I do have an oil rig in my back yard.

I have successfully avoided being stereotyped into a specific category. I've worked very hard at that, and I'm proud of not being easily lumped into anybody's preconceived notions or expectations.

I don't want to play into the perception that all women should look like fourteen year old boys. I don't want to add to that pressure for young girls. But in Hollywood, there is a constant pressure to look a certain way.

Every pound for a woman in the real world is seven pounds for an actress.

I naturally have some curves, like most women, just unfortunately not like most women in Hollywood. I'm only considered curvy in Hollywood. It's a weird town.

Like most girls, I constantly have to watch my weight, because if I didn't my curves would get ahead of me.

I'm keeping an open mind as always, because that's what you have to do.
