Quote

I'm a very modest person.

I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.

I'm a very private person, a very bookish person. The social world of Hollywood I know nothing about because I choose not to take part.

For me, I don't have a publicist. I don't want to talk about my personal life. I don't want to talk about my process. I don't want to be a model and do fashion shoots. It's nice to be an entertainer, but I'm a reluctant celebrity.

I mean, it's a bit of a double-edged sword being a celebrity and being an actor as I'm sure you know. Your public laundry is constantly aired out and I thought that maybe I could do some good.

No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.

It isn't false modesty when I say this, but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.

I'm a director, but I gotta have the hair, the makeup and the heels. My mother would be appalled if I didn't dress up.

I'm just not a private person. It's not like I do things because I want things to be public; it's just that's my way of expressing myself, and I happen to be very famous.
