My job as an actor, and the part of my job that I love is the transforming-and-becoming aspect of it, and so it doesn't become about me anymore.

My whole concept in life is if you're not using it, you should give it to somebody else so they can use it.

I love being a woman and I love being feminine.

I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.

I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.

Remember I came to Albuquerque to do a hair and makeup test and wardrobe fitting; you guys were already shooting. It's tough when the movie's already started and you kind of show up. You're the new kid on the block. I walked onto the set and Tommy [Lee Jones] was about to do the scene. I just kind of walked up to him. I was shaking, but I just gave him this big hug and he just had nothing to say. He was like, 'Gotta go to work now.' I had a great time working with him."

I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
