Actually, I take it as a compliment. Diva is a derivative of divine. That's quite a title to carry around.
I like to hike with my dog, Webster. It helps clear my mind.
Every year you work in Hollywood takes a year off your soul.
No, I am who I am. Im not going to change for anybody.
But it kills me, this fascination with celebrities' personal lives.
On her extreme thinness during her 'Ally McBeal' years: "I started under-eating, over-exercising, pushing myself too hard and brutalizing my immune system. I guess I just didn't find time to eat. I am much more healthy these days.
I just can't eat without my sunglasses,
I don't watch the show - only bits and pieces of all of them. The only one I sat through was the pilot.
Sometimes when you play a character, you can feel it in your body. And I felt like I had characteristics of my dog: the way Webster moves, the way he holds his head. I kind of adapted it into this part unconsciously
I've been doing a lot of hiking, which I love
And when I first came out from New York, I hadn't driven in a long time. Now I'm like Joe Speedster.
Well, I don't think I've ever consciously come up with tricks and tools to, kind of, hide. I do think I'm a bit more vigilant, in terms of safety issues and things. And sometimes it is kind of nice to try to hold onto your anonymity.
Whenever you move, I think you lose your history.
The way the world underestimates me will be my greatest weapon.
