When falling in love I think you should say to yourself, ‘I am going to do this fully.’ I love to the fullest extent that I possibly can - and why not?... Maybe this means there is going to be pain, but I am willing to accept the pain.
I'm a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I'm a real person operating in the world. For me to discuss the most private thing feels wrong. It feels like I'm betraying myself and my children.
I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I've always felt is a sign of respect for others.
Cinema is a director's medium, so you're saying, 'What do you want?' Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I'm willing to do that too.
I have a passion for my work, and that can seep into you. It's almost as if you're drawn to it.
People say that jealousy is the greatest enemy of love. They’re wrong. The greatest enemy of love is boredom.
I'm willing to fly close to the flame.
I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.
I have always tried to be a woman who protects other women. I have a sister, I have daughters, I have girlfriends, and I was raised by a feminist mother.
To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That’s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised - they don’t see you behind closed doors.
You don't have to be naked to be sexy.
An actor who's a control freak, that doesn't work. We have to be malleable. We cannot come in and try to control or dominate.
What's the point of doing something good if nobody's watching.
Ultimately, you're left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.
