I don't see Hollywood as the big enemy, because this is where the money is, and not all of the companies are doing studio movies. I'm not tempted to sell out. If I'm going to become well known, I want it to be for something I'm proud of.

I guess in the independent market, I'd be getting offers, but in terms of big studio films, I still have to audition. I don't think my name is that well-known, I don't have much of a following to guarantee box office success yet.

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 in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.

I'm not a film star, I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

When it comes to turning out movies, I'm for Hollywood.

I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.

I don't think of myself as a movie star and I can pretty easily convince other people that I'm not a movie star.

The reason I prefer working with established actors and stars is because they are more popular, and the film reaches out to more people and do well in terms of numbers, too.

Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles.
