To me, it is very important to have perfume in which it is hard to recognize a particular flower or scent. That gives a touch of mystery.

I think my mother became the muse because she had everything when she was in Hollywood: she had the marriage, the success, the money, all the films she wanted to do and yet even her, she had a longing and wanted to work with a film that had meaning, something more profound. And I think that was very touching to father.

Food is a big part of my culture, so everyone knows how to cook. When I came to America and asked a babysitter to softboil an egg for my son and she didn't know how, I was shocked.

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. It's in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for. That for me, is glamor.

These same people seem to forget that mother also took a lot of chances with the type of roles she played.

A lot of the advertisement is done by saying: first of all, have a complex about who you are.

If we are completely honest with ourselves, everyone has a dark side to their personalities.
