I really believe in, 'Move on, live and let live, forgive and forget.'
Before 'Titanic,' yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it's just a bit daft for me.
'Holy Smoke' is very brave because I don't think it's easy to watch.
I don't read magazine articles that I've been in.
I don't read any reviews, so I'm oblivious to what they have to say. I'm completely unaware. It's fantastic.
Whenever I go to L.A., the make-up artist or hairdresser will end up having a conversation about how fat they think they are, and I really just can't take it seriously at all.
Film, schmilm. I'm telling you, television is so much harder.
To back away from fear is the worst thing you can do. Fear shows.
I get up extremely early in the morning.
I did absolutely grow up in a world surrounded by people who were always performing and being flamboyant.
There were nineteen years between my grandparents, and I was in a relationship for five years from the age of fifteen to twenty with a man who was thirteen years older than me who remains one of the loves of my life, and he passed away when I was twenty years old.
You have to forgive me because I have a habit of not winning things.
When I was doing 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' I was asked, 'If there was one part of your life that you could erase, what would it be?' And I was so stunned by that. I thought: 'Nothing.' I would keep all the good bits and the bad bits, because those things made me who I am.
I think heartbreak is something that you learn to live with as opposed to learn to forget.
