Looking back at it now, I really feel like it was a gift because I don’t know if I have the talent to become a prima ballerina. It’s such a hard job to have. I don’t have any regrets about it.

It's funny looking at yourself. You know how it is when you look back at old pictures? It's just funny looking back at yourself walking and talking at age 14

I felt for a long time that this is what I want to do so I'm happy at this point to just take my time and work on projects that I feel strongly about, and the rest of the time just live my life

I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy.

You can't predict what someone else is going to do and when someone else is going to leave

If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.

I don't always like my own behavior. I haven't known anyone who is perfect all the time.

The ultimate art form of fashion is couture. I completely geek out when it comes to couture. It shows fashion as it used to be. I don't know how many people can actually afford the clothes, but in a way, that's beside the point.

A lot of directors idealize their leading ladies or turn them into these objects of sexuality and beauty.

I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children - but I try.

What counts in Hollywood is box office. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as an actor because, as long as you have been in a movie that has made money, you will always get another job.

I'm intrigued more and more by complex female characters because I'm more in touch with myself. I realize how screwed up or complex I am. And I'm flattered that, little by little, more and more directors want to meet me.
