I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one.
From Julia Stiles
I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.
I think women get caught up too much in having a plan - 'I'm going to get married at this age; I'm going to have a kid at this age' - and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that.
So I am happy to have fans, especially if it enables me to keep working. And I am really grateful when people respond to my work.
Of course my family and friends are incredibly valuable to me. They keep me sane, they teach me things and I love spending time with them. I think that ranking what you value is a sort of western and linear way of looking at things.
I pretty much grew up in public.
I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.
Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles.
Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.
I was in the video for Cyndi Lauper's 'Sally's Pigeons' when I first started acting.
