My body is a baby machine.

As an adult, it's a huge shock to be orphaned; as a child it's just hideous, ghastly.

I think I'm inspired mostly by other artists that aren't actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave.

You don't choose a film because it's made by a woman, you choose it because it's good.

I know people think that I always play these characters who are in control and can chop someone's head off with a look.

I can't get into all that physical stuff of having to have flawless skin... Sometimes you see people and it looks like someone's got an eraser and made their face a little blurry - their traits seem to go out of focus.

Exoticism can give you an edge: it makes people assume you're cleverer than you are and gives you the upper hand.
