There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.

Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.

I don't have very much interest in trends and fashions. I don't follow the fashion shows and stuff like that into my real life. But I'm very, very interested in how people put themselves together, how women and men announce themselves to the world, through what they put on their bodies. Whether we choose Birkenstocks or whether we choose Burberry - it all signifies something and it's really interesting to me.

Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.

I never thought I was somebody that would be on the cover of magazines in fashions, wearing fashions. It's like not me. But that is what movie stardom entails.

How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.

The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
