Animals have always left me with a curiosity about human nature. I trust animals more than most people.

I'm a good example of someone who can come to Hollywood and keep their feet on the ground with all the rock stars, all the drama that goes with being here. It's still important to pump your own gas and to be able to vacuum.

I'm a mother with two small children, so I don't take as much crap as I used to.

I've created my own career in my life, and I've had a lot of fun doing it. I think that's good.

I like all the old-fashioned icons. My friends are artists, so they make me up to look like certain people. I am more inspired by people like Jane Fonda or Brigitte Bardot - people who did something as activists.

I do a lot for PETA. I do a lot of things I think are really important, I volunteer at school and I'm still amazed I can pay my bills because I feel like I don't work that much, I really don't.

I'm a complete romantic - it's why I always get married. Someone should really stop me.
