I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.

It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are.

I make decisions for my life, not the other way around. Besides, when you have a kid, you must weigh everything against time with your child.

I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

An actress in a film starts every day with an hour and a half in front of a mirror, with hair and make-up and costumes.

I was never afraid of failure after that because, I think, coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years, the actual experience of course fades, but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?
