Living in America, I became aware of many issues and went through a period of politicization

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

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

I think there has always been an obsession with youth and beauty. What's missing is the equal obsession with respect for…older people…and their wisdom and knowledge and courage.

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 think I've got something when I'm onscreen, but that's nothing to do with acting or talent

I see stardom very clearly as a construct that's been created in order to sell things.
