Everybody likes the underdog, because everybody feels like the underdog. No matter how successful you are, you always think, No one’s being nice enough to me!
With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.
My best feature is unfortunately a private matter, although I’m told it is spectacular. But you can’t really walk it down the red carpet. What can I say?
I think that at some point everybody turns into their mother or their father, it’s just not normally from morning to afternoon.
Obviously I’ve had great experiences with people I’ve worked with on films – I’ve married half of them! I should come with a warning sign that says, ‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to try to marry you. I’m done.’
I don’t really watch all that much television, I have to say, because I’m so intimidated by how many channels there are. I really cannot find my way back to anything. But I’m compulsively addicted to ‘24.’ I love that show.
Sleep is like the holy grail. My trainer says if you’re tired, your workout will suffer. Sleep is magic stuff.
Yes, because it’s Len’s obsession with practical. I’ve never really had that experience that I hear people having of being on an empty soundstage painted green talking to a tennis ball on a stick.
I think that dwelling on other people’s perception of you is the road to complete madness, unfortunately. I try and resist that.
I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.
It’s wonderful to have the most important thing in the world there first thing in the morning. And especially in this business, where the opportunity to think everything is about you is there every day, now I really know that it isn’t all about me.
Books have always helped me make sense of things. With any life experience, you can find someone who has documented it in a poetic way.
I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It’s more interesting.
Apparently, I get facials and manicures all the time. I read this and think, ‘Oh, I wish I did that!’ I don’t think I’ve had a facial since I was 19.
I must say, I am thrilled with my fan base. For some reason some of them are quite young, so they are quite frightened.
I feel like my brain is more geared towards a novel than it is to a movie.
I feel like I’ve done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.
I didn’t feel very attractive as a child and actually I wasn’t.
I didn’t go looking to marry an American, it just kinda happened like that.
I don’t have a big career plan. I just like to see how things come out, and I just try to keep going in different directions.
