It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

People are surprised when Hollywood characters act the way a real person would.

There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.

When you're in Hollywood, you get sort of jaded about what you think the sense of humor of Hollywood is supposed to be, so you can't think outside the box.

I mean, I think that - as an actress, in particular, I'm basically a fool, and I see the world upside down.

I don't think people are fools, and I think they deserve a good attitude and smart entertainment.

Other kinds of movie stars, it's a different thing, they bring their persona to the part and that's what people like to see, and they are not really transforming in terms of their character.

Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.

Every milieu has something ridiculous about it - film-making, the music world, painting - because people who take themselves seriously become funny pretty quickly.
