I assume that if people get to know me, they'll like me. If they don't, it's not my problem.
I have learned to pare down what I do and still be effective and strong in a role.
I try to become more humble and more myself with every year. There was a while when I got famous where I was so confused and my head was spinning.
I wanted to do something far from my intellectual and physical home, so I went to live in Beijing for eight months and took Mandarin Chinese.
I'll talk to myself out loud a lot.
I'm doing things that are more artistic again, more close to the material that I love. I don't disparage those things that I did. They're just not as much reflective of who I am.
When I was 5, my mother threw a party, and a friend and I wrote and performed a play called The Dutch Doll.
There are all kinds of other things I could do, things I would probably like, but only acting would give me emotional fulfillment.
The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.
Sometimes I feel limited by people's perceptions of what I can and cannot do, or what I do or don't look like.
My major in college was Chinese Studies. It was very intentional.
I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it.
Acting is doing, because everything you say or do is some kind of an action, some kind of a verb. You're always connected to the other person through some kind of action.
There's a side of my personality that goes completely against the educated & serious woman. The side who wants to be a pin-up girl in garages all across America!
