I am proud of what I am. I am a librarian.

In L.A., unless you've just won an Oscar or you're Mr. Studio Head, no one talks to you. Even at parties.

Bad things happen when people work together. Everything goes out of control.

I don't think balance is something you get from someone else; it's something women have to find from within. For me, finding balance is still a work in progress.

I was offered more work after the Oscar. When I was younger, I would take whatever I was offered because it was money and work and experience. In a way, choosing is the hard part. I know that's a luxury problem, but it's true. I try to go where passion takes me.

I'm thinking of doing more theatre. It makes me very happy.

The happiest days of my youth were when my brother and I would run through the woods and feel quite safe.
