I'm pretty private about my neuroses. You're not neurotic if you talk to yourself - everyone does - you're only neurotic if you hear an answer.

I didn't think the teachers had the right to tell me what to do. I would just disobey, talk in the classroom, get very bad grades.

If I went out in killer heels and full makeup, blow dry, the whole thing — anyone dressed up like that could be intimidating to men and women, really. It's so, look at me. Do you know what I mean? But I love women.

I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname.

I'm a storyteller, I'm an actor, an entertainer.

You get perspective on things when you're away from your child, and in a way, your love for them becomes even deeper.

You have to be quite stupid to act.
