I'm definitely happy with the way my career has gone, the success; but I even feel glad that I've experienced some failure in my life. That gives you perspective and humility about this business; it's good to realize that you're always just one movie away from not being in Vogue anymore.

I had parents who believed I could do anything - and I know how that made me feel. I think both my parents, having careers in the medical profession, feel they are helping people on a daily basis, and that was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.

Exploring female rage on film doesn't frighten me - it might frighten a lot of people in my business, but, gosh, I know a lot about that, from personal experience and friends' experiences.

That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

I get crazy in a bookstore. It makes my heart beat hard because I want to buy everything.

If you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you hide your face, people! Hide your face!

I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I'm more womanly. I feel sexier.
