My favourite actors are all dead or dying. I just love Jimmy Stewart, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn - I was named after her - and Cary Grant. I just love old black and white movies and the stars in them. It must have been a great time to be in Hollywood.

I've had some great times with actresses, but that's in a movie.

I'm an absolute fan of Angela Bassett. I think she's a great, great actress. In the biopics, she is so moving. She's very rare. It's something that doesn't happen that much, to see an actress inventing a new way of showing 'woman' onscreen, and a new way of being beautiful.

One of my favourite actresses is Kate Winslet. She plays strong female characters and seems like she has a strong political awareness. I really like Naomi Watts and Juliette Lewis.

One of my favorite movies is Bette Davis in 'All About Eve,' and it is shocking there was no pressure on her to be likable.

I loved working with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I felt she was a wonderful actress even that early in her career.

I think one of my biggest influences is Bette Davis. I've seen almost every one of her films, and she's been very inspiring to me.
