I think superstition has a lot to do with fear: the less, the better.
I think it will be better when I get involved with someone again, because I made this time for me. I haven't really been single for a while, and I think it's been good for me, to lose the fear to be like this.
I think magic is very related to happiness. So it is not there all the time, but there are beautiful moments of magic in everyone's life.
I try to look at the whole thing and say 'yes' to the projects that I cannot stop thinking about. If I read a script and the subject stays with me - then that's when I want to go to work.
As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep.
I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.
I never grew up dreaming about a wedding - I don't think about things like that. I don't know how to explain it. All I care about is to be happy.
I don't think I am beautiful. I can look good and I can look ugly.
It felt like there is a dialogue between these two movies and these two women. They could be friends and have a lot of things in common, but are different versions of the same girl.
I am someone who worries a lot. I'm always worrying 'what if?' Now I'm a mum - there will be worries for the rest of my life, but they're not about me anymore.
I love ballet, and it's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline - it's really hard but much more fun.
I love Salma Hayek; we've been friends for a really long time. I admire how she has come such a long way and always remained grounded and who she is. She never compromises to follow her vision, and she is loyal. Such qualities only mark the great stars.
I always knew I wanted a family because of the way I grew up. Family has always been the most important thing.
I was raised Catholic, but then I discovered Buddhism, and I used to have a boyfriend who was a Scientologist, and they are all good religions that help people. As far as I'm concerned, you can have all three religions at once and it's okay!
