Each time I get off a plane in Hollywood, I don't think I'm pretty enough.

Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.

I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.

I would take up any small job on the sets, just so that I could hang around with the hope of getting noticed.

I am an actress and acting is my passion... period!

I'm more proud of quitting smoking than of anything else I've done in my life, including winning an Oscar.

Competition is very good... as long as its healthy. It's what makes one strive to be better.
