'Chasing Amy' was an amazing role, but then after that, I went and did 'Big Daddy' and you're the girlfriend or you're the best friend. I wasn't getting the Nicole Kidman roles.

It's not like you can wake up and realize, 'Oh, I want intimacy,' and then it happens that day.

No one was jumping up and saying, 'Yeah, let me give you money.' I had never held a camera in my hand - a home video camera, nothing. I had not directed.

My relationship with my father is pretty non-existent.

I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.

Most people play a fair game of golf - if you watch them.

I think, ultimately, looking back now, acting wasn't satisfying me 100%.
