I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.

I live very normally, I go out with my friends, we go to the movies, I queue, we go to restaurants. Then if something happens to remind me that I'm an actress then I become a little different and things become a little heavy.

But I never gave up personal things to work, never.

Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.

Opportunities are often things you haven't noticed the first time around.

I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.

This book was company for me - I wrote these things when I was in hotels, far from where I normally live. I never intended to publish it.
