You know, I might get married at 50 or 60, when it actually means something to say 'for the rest of my life.'
I grew up loving actresses or actors who were very classy but who seemed a little bit mysterious because you couldn't grasp what they're really thinking. I mean, Grace Kelly always looked impossibly glamorous, yet you could always see there was something behind her eyes.
But quite honestly, personally, I was much more concerned - I mean, there's not much I can do about my appearance obviously other than spending four hours in hair and makeup.
I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.
I've worked with actors who were very helpful and a lot better than I was.
I see myself raising my children in Europe, probably in Paris.
The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing.
Critics can be harsh and I think it's going to take me a long time to make people see what I have inside of me and that I really put my guts into movies and that I'm not superficial and that I'm not just a pretty face.
You always have to challenge yourself or else you get soft. Right?
I was much more concerned to look beyond that and make her more youthful, vulnerable, and show how sad she must have been from stories. So tragic.
I think Charlize Theron is just as good when she is looking really pretty in a movie as when she gains 10 pounds and puts on a nose. I applaud her - good for her that she doesn't care. But she's just as good, whether she's pretty or not.
I find that classical music helps put me in a place that is very calming and allows me to express emotion through my body. I played clarinet as a child, so I guess I have a bit of a musical ear.
When I was younger - it might be a romantic idea - I always thought I might go crazy.
It must have been so impossible to think about it and dare to do that, so they feel compassionate for her. I don't think the movie would work otherwise.
