I can cook a little bit. I can cook a few Spanish dishes. But, in movies, it looks like I cook much better than I cook.

As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep.

I've worked myself to exhaustion before. I was so young, and I thought I could do everything; it was just too much for my body and my mind.

I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.

My parents owned a hair salon, so I learned a few tricks there. I can cut people's hair - if they let me.

When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel.

The one philosophy or religion I find I am most close to is the Buddhist one. I think it is the one that respects others and the one that doesn't say that this is the only way. I think happiness is the moment when - if you've forgotten those little things - they suddenly come back into focus for you.
