I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right. I don't think I'm unlike a lot of people. I am just someone who is trying to find that mate, and I think it's a really hard thing to do. And I'm not willing to stay somewhere where I am really not happy. And I am not willing to pretend I am for the kid's sake or so that I don't have to go through another public humiliation.

I'm learning to accept the lack of privacy as the real downer in my profession.

In Monster's Ball I went nude, which was scary, but I took the chance and that's how I like to approach my career.

By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.

When I got to be about 16,17 I got into a beauty pageant and I was allowed to start playing around with makeup.

When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places - that was the most fun I ever had.

We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth and, frankly, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.
