I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

My personal life, my normal life, is so important to me. To be able to go back to my personal life and leave characters behind is important; I don't keep them with me.

I've no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.

The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.

There is a part of me that is not fulfilled by acting. It is a self-involved life; it can feel shallow, but not very often.

I'm a theater actress. I love rehearsal. I could have six weeks of rehearsal and think it's not enough. But on film, you don't get that luxury.

I love strong women in films that are allowed to play women and not male fantasies.
