I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.

I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu.

Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.

I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

The birth of my sons. The birth of new emotions...what a privilege. What a blessing.
