Don't forget I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.

I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory.

I cannot absorb living in a world where I have an Oscar for best actress and Denzel doesn't have one for best actor.

My greatest sense comes from the experience of performing in the movie. When I have a great experience, that becomes a perfect movie. If it makes a nickel, it's still perfect. The same is true with a movie that's a bad experience. If it makes a bejillion dollars, I will hate it till the end of time.

Because of being married, I've met people and experienced all these little things that have nurtured my life - not so much changed it, just nurtured it in a way that's astounding.

I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

I can direct breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I take pride in my kitchen, but I'm not going to direct a movie.
