I'm too passionate about my work...Acting takes not only concentration, it takes creativity; it takes... your soul.

I am proud of what I have got and I need an audience.

What would you do if someone said to you: "You're so popular right now that you can be on the cover of every magazine, but if you do that, you might get overexposed and a backlash will develop"? That's life. Everything has positive and negative consequences.

Cancer is my own private war. The strain, the nausea, the fever take turns challenging my strength, my mind and my spirit.

I'll do anything to stop my son running out into the street. I'll take a bullet for him. He's hit me a few times. He shows no remorse afterward.

Marriages that last are with people who do not live in Los Angeles.

Looking a certain way is a blessing and a curse.
