I was named for my grandmother. It's an evil-eye name, to protect you from bad things.

My parents were European immigrants. They came to the States with $1,500, two suitcases, and me, and they managed to build a business, a family, and a future for their family. They didn't have any of the resources of people who have lived here for two or three generations.

I think 'Game of Thrones' was extraordinary. I want to do some period pieces. It would be lovely to tell great stories, that is my main ambition. And to be working with amazing creators.

I like the concept that if you’re with someone, it’s for the long term.

I don't know how you can live on the planet and not care about the environment. It's our globe, we share it.

I don't believe in weak women, I believe women in general are pretty powerful beings. I don't know anything else.

When someone accuses you of being 'childish', I think you should take it as a compliment.
