Why do a crappy film role when you can do a meaty stage role? and ...I'm not small and curvy and I don't fit the prerequiste for small, passive, sexy chicks.
I always try to push through fear. I won't be crippled by it. People say, "Oh you take such risks", or "You're brave." And I'm like, 'Well, if you knew - inside I'm really frightened!' But the way people navigate fear and pain is fascinating... The more you feel, the stronger the pain. And the more you engage in life, the more you have to lose.
These different people that I play become the loves of my life.
I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again.
The power of work, and the power of creativity can be your salvation.
I look for roles that show women as independent, informed, and free to make their own decisions.
Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It's something quite magical.
I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that.
I'm now so much more capable of receiving love and giving it in a far different way.
In my heart I'm independent, a bit of a rebel, a nonconformist.
I credit literature for the reason I act because that was the door to me saying, ‘Oh! I can be somebody else. I can exist as someone else.’
I don't really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.
It's my job as an actor to commit to the role and not - through my own inhibitions - run away.
It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that's very difficult, really difficult and very brave.
