Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors because he takes chances.

I'm not superstitious.

I went to South Africa on safari and came eye to eye with a beautiful leopard. We were so close; I was staring at him for a long time and I felt a recognition with my own nature.

You have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don't want to face.

What I like about being an actress is that it keeps you feminine. Being a director and producer makes you manly and very masculine and I don't like that quality in a woman. But I'll do it when the film is very close to me.

You never know what's going to happen. That's why I like acting. It's precious to me to be able to live more than one life.

I guess I feel like it's a gift to meet those talented artists like George Lucas and Oliver Stone, Spike Lee and Richard Kelly. Even if it's a small role, it's a gift to be working that closely with them.
