My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India.

I was born with a need to be the center of attention, and, of course, you're the center of the world when you're acting

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.

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.

I regret that I wasn't the kind of person who could enjoy celebrity. It embarrassed me too much.

I never will have peace of mind. I'm not constructed that way. Some things in life can be horrible.
