When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.

Its only when you are a great actor and are recognised for your good work that you become famous. Unless you are in the news for the wrong reasons!

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

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

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

I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different.
