I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I don't want to be anything other than what we are. I want to just be a woman.

I never take that for granted, but I'm always very aware that I'm one person and I can't wear everything.

I think of myself as a highly sexual creature.

I know that I'm only as good as I am because of the things that I allow into myself and into my soul, because that's the stuff that I project back out.

People always say to me, "What's wrong with Hollywood? They don't want to make female-driven movies." And that's not where the problem lies. It lies with us, in society. When we make these movies, nobody goes to see them.

I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I'll say to myself: 'I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn't be there.'

My mother is one of those very unusual, superb human beings-she's innately strong and incredibly smart. She created an environment for me to explore who I was.
