I haven't played a lot of wallflowers but I have played women who have been vulnerable.

Your dressing area should be your private space.

I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.

I sort of have a love affair with my work. Many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.

I realized that so much of the pressure I was feeling was from outside sources, and I knew I wasn't ready to take that step into motherhood. [...] Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around.

I take care of myself, which includes dieting, exercising and minimising stress. I joke that I've been on a diet since 1974, which is basically true.

Vulcans are so smart. There's no excess; it's just enough. I learned coming away from the film that less really is much more. Sometimes, as a human, you get so discombobulated with emotions, but this was easier, because it was s o clean to play.
