I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.

When I was a kid, my mother told me that if you could not be a good loser, then there's no way you could be a good winner.

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.

After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?

I learned up less is more.The makeup used to wear me and now I wear the makeup.

Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is essentially meaningless and it is always transitory.

My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.
