“Hollywood is a place where they place you in a box, and they want you to be that thing.”

“I'm not a person who has a lot of regrets. I'm not a person who looks backwards.”

“I'd rather be a character actor than a star.”

“I've had to learn to be gentle with myself. I think it's something that we all have to learn.”

“I feel like I'm a character actor, and I'm very comfortable with that.”

“I'm a workaholic. I love to work. I love to be creative.”

“I'm a very private person. I don't go to premieres. I don't go to parties.”

“I have a lot of chameleon qualities, I get very absorbed in my surroundings.”

“I'm very specific about scripts, and I'm not a hired gun. I don't just do anything.”

“I love New York. It's my favorite city.”

“My own personal taste is that I like to see women who are not tampered with.”

“It's not like I'm the most famous person in the world.”

“I find that the most challenging thing for me is to be in a good mood.”

“Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured.”
