I have a good brain on me, but I've never really used it when it came to making decisions about love, which has been a blessing and a curse.

I was very nervous about taking on an empire that was richer and far more powerful than I will ever be. It was very daunting.

As an actress I feel that if you start to impose your own inhibitions, then you are not doing your job.

It's really fun to be in a film that's pure entertainment, that people want to go and see. I think, in the current climate, the state of things, people want escapism.

I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way, and I just don't have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change, but I can't obsess about it.

I love cigarettes. Love them. I think the more positive approach you have to smoking, the less harmful it is.

The big thing I've discovered, the big secret, is that it's all about how happy you are. It's the ultimate thing. People forget your flaws and imperfections if they see you're happy.
