I'm kind of harsher than most people.

I always find the most depressing stuff most interesting.

A man's ability to haggle is never a turn-on. The only thing less romantic than how much you paid is how much you saved. The last thing we want to hear is how you talked the jeweler down on our new earrings.

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.

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

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.

Sexual awareness is part of growing up. When you're growing up, you can't get away from sex.
