Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.

Singing and acting are very similar. Singing makes you reach into your deepest feelings. Singing is an extension of everything that you do when you're acting.

I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.

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.

I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.

The key to every actor is deep, deep insecurity.

I think that we pay much more attention to fashion and our hair, skin and foreheads, our abdominal muscles and shoes than what is happening in the world. We willingly take that 'drug' and go along with that.
