I don't actually go on the Internet that much.

A boyfriend has so much to do with a woman blossoming.

The thing I'm obsessed with is really great bad paintings. I have a storage locker full of them and I want to give them their own museum. You don't even know who these artists are - you can buy them at garage sales, antique stores and places like that. They're brilliant because they were done with the intention of being great, but the artist sort of made a wrong turn. Some of them are hilarious and I can't get enough of them.

I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

There's definitely a psychology to making you feel important and like you're part of the game. It's a very special quality, especially with a first-time director.

I feel that when you want to seduce a man, you really need your legs. Since all my outfits were long dresses, I have to say that I really didn't feel sexy at all.

The great thing about Jane Austen - the reason we're all still obsessed with her - is that she gets inside a woman's mind and she taps into our fantasies of wanting to be accepted and loved for who we are.
