 Anyway, I believe you don't fix the inside by putting something on the outside. |
| I eat like a horse! |
| I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role. |
| I don't like everybody knowing what I'm doing, unless it's related to a movie. I don't like speaking to the press. I never did. |
| I like to make movies I like to watch. |
| A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market... truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest. |
| You know, Mamet is not a huge writer of female parts. Most of his movies don't even have women in them, so I'm lucky I'm in it at all. |
| I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling. |
| I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu. |
| Focusing on the way I look makes me uncomfortable. I try to focus on the way I feel - I know what makes me feel better about myself. Reading my child a story makes me feel great, doing my hair nicely doesn't. |
| It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. |
| I just happen to like the work. I like preparing for a role. I like reading. I like analyzing. I like literature. I like emotions. I like working with other actors. |
| As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I'll keep working. |
| I've done all this stuff because it's fun. It's never been about fame. |
| For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input? |
| Acting and modeling have nothing to do with each other. |
| People in the fashion industry have used the press a lot more than people in the film industry, because you have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything. |
| You check to see the facts are correct where business is concerned but if I read everything that was written about me, I'd end up feeling totally insecure about myself. |
| But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter. |
| The image is where you have dinner at night, who you're seeing. It's what car you drive and how you dress. People in the industry sell that, and it creates a dream. There's nothing else. |
