I have a healthy sense of vanity. I like to look good for myself, which is what a lot of women say. I want to stay fit.

And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.

Villains with a conscience have this sad realization of who they are, and the monster they've become — there's a sense of regret. So at the end of these movies there's a dramatic resonance that really stays with the audience.

I believe in singularity in relationships because you've got to have trust on both sides.

But I'm a citizen of Texas and try to spend most of my time there.
