Sometimes, I think I could have been a major movie star with the vast mansion and staff. I look at my Volvo and think it could be a limousine. I think of the roles I turned down. But then I wouldn't have had any children.

I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?

As actors, we're always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it's not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.

I think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

Now, playing a love interest can be really thrilling, if you're working opposite thrilling people.

I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.
