We were like a stock company at Warners. We didn't know any of the stars from the other studios.

I believe in following your instincts with the people that you like and who you like to be with.

It was so much fun to play, that I've now had a taste for it and want to play more villains now.

Bollywood is a great place. You can expect support for award ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.

I am a little old fashioned. I believe that in a relationship a man and a woman are never equal.

I'm so motivated to collaborate with people and help them realize the kind of collective vision.

I'm pretty ruthless about that; I think when you sign over your story, you sign over your story.

I have always been interested in giving back, and I wouldn't want to know a life without giving.

I'm not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don't really seek it out either.

I'm very nerdy about my music, and I like interrogating people about what they put on playlists.

Shopping is a bit of a relaxing hobby for me, which is sometimes troubling for the bank balance.

I've just started to get really envious when I go into people's houses and see books on a shelf.

At some point, you have to be willing to accept other people's opinions. I think that's helpful.

My sister started acting professionally when she was twelve, but I wanted to go to college first

I never thought I'd make any money at all doing this business. Film was never even on the cards.

Success is freedom - scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.

For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.

It's very validating when you are new in the industry to get awards. It boosts your self-esteem.

I can't think of my life without Donna Reed. She has been such an enormous influence on my life.

Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.

Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.

Catsuits were big for me in the '90s, and I had many of them. Even catsuits with shorts in them.

I am the kind of person who hates the gym. I am allergic to the gym. I want to run away from it.

I like pretty conservative guys, good guys. I always look for the qualities I find in my father.

I've been in this business a long time, and I'm very clear on what is real and what is fleeting.

I may have had a crush on Zac, but we are like brother and sister, so nothing would ever happen.

You could put all the talent I had into your left eye and still not suffer from impaired vision.

Most of us have compromised with life. Those who fight for what they want will always thrill us.

If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.

I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.

There are some things I wish I never knew, but I am grateful for things that I have learned, too.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

It's essential to feel beautiful to oneself. Not in an egotistical way, but in a self-loving way.

For me 'Satyagraha' is a big film as I am working with Amitabh Bachchan. It is a big opportunity.

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.

But the important thing about learning to wait, I feel sure, is to know what you are waiting for.

The stereotypes attached to Bollywood were that it's a big, bad world or that it's a dirty world.

I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once, and you have to sustain it.

You can't control the things that happen to you, but you can control the way you feel about them.

I read Gloria Swanson's autobiography just because I wanted to know what it was like in the time.

In my old age I've come to find that if you respect other people, you feel better about yourself.

The fact of the matter is I'm 21 now. I stay home. I feed my dogs. I don't really go out. I work.

I ride my bike past the Danish Parliament, and it's very accessible - there's really no security!

I travel a lot. A lot, a lot. I don't have a single passport that doesn't have extra pages on it.

Glorifying violence is terrible. Simulating sex is nothing - it's something so impersonal really.

Women over 35 have great stories, and the actresses are there, but you can't get the movies made.

There was definitely a learning curve in terms of being on film, but being on a set was all good.

I've always been more of a camera hog than anything, and it's just another way to get it all out!

The celebrity-making machine-photographers, paparazzi, press and stuff like that-can be ruthless.

The best thing about having four big brothers is you always have someone to do something for you.
