I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person. And there are other parts where you would like to think that you have nothing in common with those characters, but you probably do have more than you think.

I think I'm always trying to subvert conventions, and sometimes it's more successful than others.

I think you always have to go as an artist with instinct, I really do.

It's not often that the idea of continuing something for a potentially long period of time sounds exciting to me, because I really am a gypsy by nature.

Unfortunately, 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that, yes, have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are, and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.

You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate; it was sort of like a strange thing.

I'm fiercely protective of my privacy.
