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

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

I love Nic Cage. He was so much fun to work with.

Her beauty didn’t do her any good and she couldn’t use it in any positive way or manipulative way. I just hope that people will look and see and believe in that hope of love, that hope of freedom, even if it was just for a limited time.

The only song I can sing is “Lady in Red” so that must tell you how great it must have been.

It's taken me a long time to realize that my own life is far more interesting than any part I'll ever play.
