I absolutely love religions and the rituals. Even though I don't believe in God, we celebrate pretty much every religion in our family with the kids.

People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.

The movies I made when I was 14 or 15, I have a hard time looking at those. Those were the awkward years. I don't know if anybody can look at something they did when they were 14 and not wince.

I've worked with Neil Jordan, who I really adore. We did The Brave One [2007] together.
