I think I'm a character actress in a leading lady's body, but the industry doesn't really see me that way.

As an actress, you have to keep yourself fresh and new.

I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.

Being a successful Hollywood actress may be challenging, but little did I know that the very body that had always been my calling card would betray me.

I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything.

If you're an actress, you're always on one diet or another - it's a way of life.

My body is an object of work. That's why I think to be an actor is one of the most violent jobs. If you're a pianist, you have your piano. If you're a guitarist, you have your guitar. But if you're a dancer, or you're an actor - your instrument is your body.

What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being.

Actors only have our bodies, voices, and the text. So I think actors need to have a fit and in-tune body. I was always very disciplined in wanting to have that. That's one of my favorite things - playing a role with a physical requirement.
