My mother and my sisters - five girls - were crazy about glamour and Hollywood movies. I styled myself on Veronica Lake and Marlene Dietrich.

When I was a kid, I wanted a Chanel bob and bangs. My mom said no. I went to the salon anyway, and they said, 'No way - we are not going to do that to your hair.' So I did it myself. Big mistake. Instead of my bangs going down straight, they were sticking up like a cat. It was horrible.

My worst hair experience was when I was trying to relax my hair and my grandmother did it. It went all straight and I looked like a black Bee Gee.

My dad cut my hair once - I wanted a bob and he gave me a bowl cut. That was a tough few years.

I did the occasional odd film, like Endless Love.

In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald; in other movies I always carried a different look.

The first important movie that I did, I shaved my head for the movie. When the hair grew back, I had white hair for the first time in my life.

When I was a kid, it wasn't very often that I could go to the movies and see an entire movie carried on the shoulders of someone who looked like me.

It was kind of scary because working with Woody Allen becomes sort of a big deal in your mind. He directs in that Woody Allen character some of the time - he has these idiosyncrasies that are really charming and funny.

My favorite film involving scarves was little Edie in 'Grey Gardens.' I often wear scarves like that, under hats.
