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

I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.

People want what they want. Sometimes you just have to walk in defiance of it and just be yourself.

Women are the last group anyone cares about in Hollywood.

Being a celebrity has taught me to hide but being an actor has opened my soul.

I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.

While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.
