As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

As an actor you're only as good as the things you're offered. And there just weren't any female directors offering me things. So when you dissect that, you realize there aren't women offering you things because they don't have the opportunities. I work to raise money for women's cancers; I use my voice for violence against women.

I credit literature for the reason I act because that was the door to me saying, ‘Oh! I can be somebody else. I can exist as someone else.’

The loss of a child is the most terrifying place for me to go.

I'm a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.

I think having my life be as private and quiet as possible is a way in which then I can go and play characters.

I don't mind being naked.
