We're all the same, we all think its better somewhere else; its better being older if you're younger - or its better being younger when we're older.

I had gotten to a place where I truly believed everything I was called: 'not sexy,' 'not funny,' 'too intense,' desperate.' All those labels they gave me, I took them because there wasn't a trace of my true self left.

We're so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we'll appreciate the life we have more.

Never say never - and I certainly don't judge anyone who does it. But most of the characters I play are going through some kind of emotional turmoil, so my job requires me to have expression. If my face was froze, what right do I have to play that part? All the women who haven't done anything to their faces are still able to play great roles. And some of the ones who have done something have messed it up - they look freakish. Anyway, for me it's about playing women with rich lives - and the longer the life, the deeper the wrinkles.

You won't find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don't speak to me. People don't come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I'm this dark, twisted, miserable person.

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.

I think when a man sees a woman who knows what she wants it can be scary, but it can also be tempting.
