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.

During really difficult times in my life when I start questioning why I am struggling with something, I often turn to books to understand myself better.

I've learned my tricks. I know what I like. I do not wait around. I initiate. And I'm not all about frequency - I favor intensity.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.

Growing older is not such a big deal for me, despite the fears that older actresses have in Hollywood. When I hit 40, for example, I didn't feel 40 - or whatever that is supposed to feel like.

I've always thought that when anyone receives an award for acting they should always thank their fellow actors, because the only way you're going to deliver your best performance is when you have other good actors on the set supporting you and being very present for you even when the camera is not on them.

I'm not the girl for superhigh fashion because I don't have the right body. When I want to get dressed up, I'm a Roberto Cavalli girl.
