true-beauty skins beauty-is-only-skin-deep
Beauty is more than skin deep.
soul
I know that I'm only as good as I am because of the things that I allow into myself and into my soul, because that's the stuff that I project back out.
challenges want
In life we want to challenge ourselves.
kids people want
I'm happy for people who want to get married but it's not my thing. I'm extremely happy in my relationship and I would love to have kids.
thinking looks glamour
I love that old glamour look. I think it's because I grew up on it.
world kind
I don't want to live in a world where I just kind of play on my naïveté - well if I don't know it, then it doesn't exist.
jeans careers people
And I was victim to that very early in my career, where I would go into auditions, and I'd be wearing a big T shirt, a big baggy T shirt and loose jeans. You know, to try and show people that there was more to me than just that.
play careers long
So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I'm at a place in my career now where I don't necessarily fret about that too much anymore.
makeup thinking people
I have very talented people dress me and put my makeup on, stuff like that. But I do love that look, and I think it's maybe because I grew up on that old glamour.
mother good-mother
I can be a really good mother because I'm happy.
lying sleep thinking
I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'
careers interesting way
At least I know that one film-maker in my career has had the initiative to come to me and thought of me as being capable of doing interesting and complicated work, and so I have a new-found belief that other film-makers will see me in a different way, the way that Patty did.
fun mind ocd
I have OCD, which is not fun. I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me.
hate actors i-hate
I hate actors who come and quote Nietzsche.
