fleeting schemes modeling
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
husband good-friend bizarre
My ex-husband happens to be one of the most gifted moviemakers. And what is so bizarre about working with someone like that? I guess it is bizarre to be good friends with your ex-husband.
thinking arrogance good-movie
Here's what I had: I had the arrogance of saying I'd like to be in a 'good' movie, so in fact, when I was hot, I turned down a lot of stuff because I didn't think I wanted to watch it.
stupid careers house
When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
blow perfect actors
In film, there's so many little things where not just the actor can blow his lines, but technically, it doesn't quite come off in the perfect way envisioned.
stars confused waiting
There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.
kind intense kinds-of-love
There are so many kinds of love, and they're all very intense for me.
baby media shining
If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.
want able persons
Am I going to be able to be the person I want to be in this relationship?
animal two equal
I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
animal levels cruelty
I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
years clothes wake-up
If you want to be watched 24 hours a day in everything you do, you can't turn that around. You can't wake up three years later and say, 'Stop bothering me, I'm a serious actor,' if all you've done is wear certain clothes and show up half-loaded at clubs.
fall thinking center-of-attention
I think it's tough when you're very young and you maybe fall for the celebrity and being the center of attention.
new-york careers four
I'm a New Yorker, and working in New York was divine for me. I loved working there and going to work there, which I've been able to do three or four times in my career, and I just love it. It's my favorite.
