You can't have a favourite meal, like you can't have a favourite movie or a favourite book or a favourite child.

And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.

There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.

I do think that, at one time, being an actress was the equivalent almost of being a prostitute. It garnered roughly the same respect. That's changed a lot, thank goodness.

I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.

I am basically very private, and I'm really nervous about doing publicity.

Acting's an odd profession for a young person; it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.
