I originally wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be Kylie Minogue. My dad thought that was a very silly ambition and introduced me to drama classes. Once I became fixated on that, there was no stopping me.

On shooting days, I have all my accessories, and I style the final look.

You should see some of the things people tweet me. There have been death wishes on my Twitter timeline.

I hate it when people are impolite to waiters or to the valet or the guy in the supermarket. There's no need for that; it doesn't cost anything to be polite.

Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.

I've read 'Valley of the Dolls' at least four times. It's so epic!

Statement earrings and statement necklaces each deserve their own moment. I never wear the two together; it looks overdone.
