The kind of energy I attract is very calm.

If all you have to offer is a look that is supposed to be appealing, the you are going to be paid attention to about a tenth as long as you would be if when you speak you are interesting.

I am an actor and of course I respond very positively to flattery.

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.

I couldn't be an ingenue today, because the business has changed. I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you're ridiculed.

Wit is the key, I think, to anybody's heart, because who doesn't like to laugh?

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