I guess a normal woman would find it extremely enjoyable to wear fancy clothes. For me, I didn't enjoy it. It felt like a straight jacket.

The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

All that attention to the perfect lighting, the perfect this, the perfect that, I find terribly annoying.

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.

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