I'd been taking singing lessons and I had taken dance, because I loved to dance, but I had never considered myself a professional at all.

I don't really know what Hollywood is. I've never really known.

Where I came from, the idea of going into show business was just ridiculous; in fact I didn't tell anybody because I knew people would laugh at me. So I sort of snuck around and got some pictures and got a resume together and, of course, lied and said I did all kinds of things I didn't do.

I've worked with very few actors who have been at all difficult.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

If I really want to do something, I'll go in and do whatever the director feels that he needs me to do.

It takes years for me to trust; I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.
