I don't obsess about my weight. I just know I've got to watch it when my pants feel tight.

A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

I realized through my personal travels how little I know about certain conflicts, because I was too vain or self-absorbed to ask the questions. That's been the focus while I'm in my thirties - to become an accomplished woman, rather than some actress.

A well-cut dress is my personal style. I definitely like it classic; less is more. The thing I despise most is vulgarity.

Yeah, to me, acting is very therapeutic. I get out a lot of anger and frustration.

I only dance when I go out.

Brad Pitt seems to have no problem getting parts that he wants, nor does Angelina Jolie. Not that I'm saying I look like either of them, but I just don't think that it has anything to do with that. It's the emotions or characters you are able to take on that will get you work, not necessarily the way you look. Obviously, beauty can open doors - it is Hollywood, after all - but that's not enough.
