It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention

I don't think I would have been a good mother. Being a parent brings immense responsibility. It's a Herculean task. It would be almost too much for me.

Early on, I found the attention completely embarrassing. I'd cringe if I saw my picture on the cover of a magazine.

As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.

The little things that made up the fabric of the first six years of my life were suddenly ripped away, and I didn't have anyone around me who loved me. Not one single person.

Some people enjoy celebrity. I admire those who do, because if you're going to go through it, you might as well enjoy it.

I never dreamed I'd like any city as well as London. San Francisco is exciting, moody, exhilarating. I even love the muted fogs.
