The year I married my American husband, I won the lottery - and I tried to give it to somebody else, because I was already approved - not the money lottery, the immigration lottery.

I think the success of my work stems from being truthful.

You allow people to represent themselves, and they'll either look smart or foolish on their own; you don't have to do much for them.

Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.

I only want to write. I don't care about directing really. I've tried it and it was fun, but it's not like I have to.

I'm pretty much a good Catholic girl at heart and I believe in family. I also have a basic belief that God takes care of me. I believe in prayer, even though I'm not that religious. I just have that foundation from my family. I mean when you think that you're just a human being and one of God's creatures, you can't take anything that seriously.

These are mad times, but there have been a lot of mad times in the world.
