I don't know why, but I respond well to tortured characters.

What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.

It is very hard to separate one's self from a character. Sometimes the people closest to me have to be very understanding.

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.

As a woman, when you embrace where you are in life, then I think the struggle [life] isn't so hard. If you're 42 and still think you're an ingenue, then you've got a problem.

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.

To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss.
