When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'

I'm a bit of an abstract figure that people can project their fantasies on; it's pretty much what we all are, otherwise we wouldn't be stars, and people wouldn't be interested. But people project things on you that have nothing to do with what you really are, or they see a little something and then exaggerate it. And you can't really control that.

I'm a country girl. I have to be in nature, so my daughter is exposed to it a lot.

I aim for a lifetime full of movies.

When you are passionate about life, it keeps you young. Sometimes I wake up at 4:00 am just to see how my roses look.

I think it's important that kids have responsibilities and understand the value of things, but I think it's great I get to travel the world with my daughter.

I think if you are young and you have children, you still have so much to prove. When you have children later in life, you lose a bit of that urge for working.
