We come from a somewhat puritanical and chauvinistic point-of-view, so that when we're asked questions about women being empowered by sexuality, we often confuse it with women who are victimized by it.

For someone like me, who prefers to keep their life as private as possible, it was disconcerting to have to define so much about myself. I don't want to be labeled as one thing or another.

I can sit in front of the TV and watch an old romantic film and be transfixed.

All I've ever needed is myself.

I don't label myself one way or another. I love who I love; it's the person that matters.

When you can find a strong character and a director that does want to protect the integrity of all characters, female and male, then you have a good deal.

I grew up driving old pickup trucks on the ranch with my dad, and I still always find myself driving like I'm out in an open field, except I'm in LA on La Cienega in the middle of rush-hour traffic.
