My real fantasy if I was to drop out would be to live in a mobile home and be a hippie and drive around festivals and have millions of children - children with dreadlocks and nose rings - and play the flute.

I love the international feeling In New Yokk. Different foods. Different people. There's everything here. Museums, theatre, there's so much to do I feel guilty about not doing too many things.

I could never write. I would just be too lonely. What's great about acting is, it's so collaborative.

To come to the Oscars for the first time and be seven months pregnant is quite a thing!

I'm not confident around compliments or being celebrated, and I'm not comfortable with the thought of envy, which some people thrive on.

I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.

As an actress, it's part of your job to be able to imagine just about anything - even if it's not within your personal experience.
