I love Salma Hayek; we've been friends for a really long time. I admire how she has come such a long way and always remained grounded and who she is. She never compromises to follow her vision, and she is loyal. Such qualities only mark the great stars.

Look at Judi Dench, who's brilliant in whatever bloody job she does.

There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.

Celebrity is very weird.

The idea of the extraordinary happening in the context of the ordinary is what's fascinating to me.

I've always thought Anne-Marie Slaughter would make a fantastic United States Senator or something. She's a real intellectual, but she's got enormous communicative skills and she's got government experience. The thing that drives me slightly crazy is the way we think about intellectuals as wooly, hopeless, arrogant, self-deceived, incapable.
