Honesty is the quality I value most in a friend. Not bluntness, but honesty with compassion.

I went to an ordinary school in New York City with no other actors. I learned to compartmentalise different parts of my life. I was one person at home and then another person at work and for that reason my career didn't challenge my family life.

At Princeton I gained a great deal of pleasure from success in my classes. knowing that I could accomplish those things, and I realized that my success was directly proportionate to the work I put in.

People think of me as a mannequin. All show and no substance.

I took my work seriously, but not as a craft. More as a life.

I'm so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn't understand, she had to explain: 'That's like three Mercedes.' Then I understood.

I think I'm going to have to live vicariously through my daughter's rebellion because I certainly never did go through adolescence.
