I want to come across as a positive person.

Hollywood will accept actresses playing ten years older, but actors can play ten years younger.

I look for people who're passionate, dedicated to the text, and in whom I trust completely.

You seldom get that in film where you're lucky if you get any say at all in the final cut.

My father was absent and he was a hero to me.

I've been through some very difficult stages in my life, but I wouldn't change anything.

Im more keen on the person Im involved with showing me his commitment rather than going through a marriage to display commitment to the world.
