My diary is a disaster...I can't spell at all...I'll spell the same word completely differently in the same sentence.

Working with Bernardo Bertolucci, director of Stealing Beauty was my first experience of being able to communicate with someone whom I'd think of as a mentor, who'd ask me my opinion and trust me, and believe in me and allow me to do the things that I wanted to do. The film itself was also rare in terms of character most of the scripts I've read are the story of some man, and there might be a love interest or a big woman's part.

Hopefully, I can continue to do anything I want. I just want to do things that I'm passionate about in this life.

There is no definition of beauty, but when you can see someone's spirit coming through, something unexplainable, that's beautiful to me.

I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.

~[My son] is at that age now where he's so loving and says the sweetest things to me. Of course, I still get karate chops and all those other sort of things, too.~

Life excites me-just little, normal, everyday things. Getting out of bed. Getting dressed. Making food. I find it all exciting.
