I have never been called too pretty for anything. That would be a problem I could get used to.

Singing has always been something that I've loved to do, but I never thought about doing, professionally. I always felt more drawn to acting.

When do I feel my best? When I haven't looked in a mirror for days, and I'm doing things that make me happy.

Each Catwoman is specific to the Gotham City she lives in and the director that helps shape her. So it's kind of hard to have a favorite and I'm not just being political, it's hard to have a favorite because each one is so specific as themselves.

I'm pretty good at remaining calm during an emergency. My house burned down when I was 12, which made me really pragmatic about what needed to be done. But I can be bad in that I compartmentalize a lot of emotions and push them away to deal with them at a later date.

What I've observed and what I've imagined - and definitely what I'm hoping - happens as you get older is that there's a mellowing, an acceptance that comes with time. I guess that I'll find out.

[Working with Meryl Streep] I just felt like I was shaving years off my discovery as an actress to realize, "Okay, that's what this feels like."
