I don't like changing with the wind; I like sticking to my own self.

The journey of life - we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.

I would rather be tough on myself than have other people be tough on me.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

I try never to be governed by fear; that's how I choose things.

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.

You're not anyone in America unless you're on TV.
