A woman needs her privacy while drinking a dirty Belvedere martini on the rocks with a splash of Tabasco.

I'm not a drug person. I don't like drugs. I went to college in London, so it was kind of the curriculum there. I got it out of my system really young.

When you make a movie, you're spending a month of your life with someone and, down the line, you have to spend more months with them. It is this mini-marriage that you have.

Part of what's cool about being an actor or being in this industry, frankly, is to be able to travel to distant lands. That's part of the deal. I always thought when I was growing up, "I wanna be an actor and go see the world.'

I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct.

People do horrible things when they're young. There might be betrayal and there might be things that should be forgotten.

I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we're fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin.
