I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.

Be present. I would encourage you with all my heart just to be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Because, ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.

I do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.

When you think about it there's never really been a realistic exposition of Hollywood, I mean - from the inside - showing Hollywood what it can do, what it has done, to people.

I've never been a sunny personality. I've never been outgoing. I'm a solitary person.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
