There is often a great disparity between a director's personal style and the movies he makes.
The first time I went to Hollywood, I was 25 years old. My background was mostly Italian.
My films are comical films. They are made to laugh at. They are comical - and scientifically correct.
Many years in New York has made me urban, and I won't eat my chicken because I met him personally!
It took me a long time to be accepted as an actress, I think, because of the modeling and because of my mother.
It always amazed me that people believed I was this beautiful object.
I seldom look at myself to avoid any self-criticism.
I loved my career as a model, and that evolved into being an actress.
I live in the country. I'm a bird-watcher, an oyster-raiser. You know, I'll do anything that - raise dogs for the blind as a volunteer.
I like to extend myself as an actress and David really helped me.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals and been fascinated with them.
Mammals are very close to us, but bugs are strange. They're more mysterious and exotic.
I've had a lot of 'aha' moments, but the big 'aha' about growing older is the mental freedom.
When I was young, it was difficult to imagine entering a world where my parents succeeded so much and I could have risked failing. It would have felt much harder.
