The body is an actor's tool, like the face, malleable. I never thought that being naked was immoral or outrageous.

If I have one thing perfect, it's my eyebrows. And my feet. I love my feet. They're like Japanese feet. The rest I would like to hide. Especially my freckles. I feel ridiculous.

When I'm playing a part, I can feel all my body playing it; it's like really making love.

There are moments when you feel that the desire to work is fading, and the only way to bring it back is to get away from it, to put yourself in a state of frustration so you feel the need again.

I don't see my old films, but I think of the characters I played as friends, like the women I meet in my life who made strong impressions on me. I remember them and they are part of me.

I wouldn't say I was a rebel as such, but I certainly wasn't right at school.

I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.
