Weird people follow you in the streets, you can't sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone. |
I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties. |
There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression. |
It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me. |
People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they - at least the ones that I know personally - have been waiting for something that doesn't completely insult them. |
You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that. |
I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera. |
It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there, and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've made recently and so I'm pretty positive about the future. |
I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time. |
I'm not into older guys. To tell you the truth, Richard Gere is not the sexiest man alive, in my book. |
I feel my best when I'm happy. |
