Quick Facts
Married Billy Bob Thorton on the 5th of March, 2000 at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas, Nevada. Now divorced.
She has several tattoos :
A box design on her lower hip.
A Chinese dragon on her left arm.
A rune-shaped design on her left wrist (lower case h). She felt like she needed to get that tattooed because there had been two important people in her life who's name contained the letter H. One being her brother James Haven Voight and the other being Timothy Hutton (whom she dated).
Two tribal designs on her backside.
One on her arm which says "Billy Bob" and one uhh.. *ahem* down below.. which I know says *something* about Billy Bob. She has removed the Billy Bob tattoos due to their marriage breaking up.
The Kanji symbol for "death" on her shoulder. She said she got the Kanji symbol on her shoulder so when ever she looks at it, it would remind her to live.
The Latin words on her stomach meaning "What nourishes me also destroys me" - "quod me nutrit me destuit".
On her left forearm she had a tattoo saying "a prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages". A Tennessee William's quote.
On her lower back she has a dragon and a blue window tattooed in the middle of it. She said she felt like she needed to get a window tattooed on her because all her life she found her self looking out of a window and always wished to be somewhere else.
A huge black side ways cross lying right next to the "quod me nutrit me destruit".
A chinese symbol - she got it to match her (then) husband Jonny Lee Miller and then later got it removed because she felt that it wasn't her.

Quotes
I'm so nervous, I'm about to fall over..."
"I've collected weapons since I was a little girl."
"If you have enough people sitting around telling you you're wonderful, then you start believing you're fabulous, then someone tells you you stink and you believe that too!"
"I would like to be open with the public. I would like to not keep secrets or be careful when I talk. I don't want to have to plan things... I want to be outspoken. I want to say my opinions and I hope they're taken in the right way. I don't want to stop being free. And I won't."
"I got really drunk!"
"There was a time when I was really going to give up acting... Right after Foxfire. I was trying to find characters with a certain strength and things going on, but I was always disappointed. Wallace was the first thing I did where I felt their ideas were better than mine."
"You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens!"
"But there are very few people that can hold me in a way, to look at them and talk to me. And to make me cry, and talk to me about my life. And also to say, get out there, I believe in you. Go, go, go. And get me to go, and go to get my life together. And for me to want to come back and say, look what I did."
"I usually try to look for something I haven't done before, a side of me that I haven't completely explored. There's a truth in acting, and there is a very real part of me that can understand that or can believe in that or can see the beauty of that or see the ugliness in that and the statement that needs to be made. So it's all kind of me."
"The truth is I love being alive. And I love feeling free. So if I can't have those things then I feel like a caged animal and I'd rather not be in a cage. I'd rather be dead. And it's real simple. And I think it's not that uncommon."
