It's tricky to say 'never,' but I will never have plastic surgery.
Doors of opportunity don't open, they unlock; it is up to you to turn the knob.
As a woman, a lot of stories haven't been told and we've got a lot of catching up to do.
I felt that the biological clock was some myth to keep me from doing what I wanted to do. And so I rebelled against it in the '90s. I thought it was a backlasher, some sort of faulty data. But it's real. I'm glad I woke up before my body was just like 'uh-uh.
It's been very important for me to follow my gut or my heart, or whichever organ you want to go by.
I do believe there's good in all of us, even if it's layered over so thickly.

I haven't gotten stuck with something because I just keep going, and I keep doing different things.
To do work that's not going to be fulfilling doesn't make sense.
I love Central Park. I spend a lot of time in there. I try and get in there whenever I can.
Two things I'm trying to work on are openness and flexibility.
I like to play smart, three-dimensional women. I also like to play roles where the women are a little crazy. I just have a feel for crazy people.
I guess the characters I play may be at the more destructive edge of the spectrum, more damaged or whatever, but I find a lot of female roles uninteresting.
Cannes is a very strange place. I tried to show up as best I could and to try not to be cynical.
