In my life and career I want to embrace ageing because I think that's what's interesting.

Really rejoice in being yourself. Have your own drumbeat.

Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.

I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.

I'm certainly not a prude.

It doesn't matter what the technology is - no one will watch a Peter Greenaway film anyway.

I was taking a nose dive somewhere between eleven and twelve because my sister had died and I was practicing something that siblings do which is follow in their footsteps and die as well.

I'm the kind of person who, if I see a shooting star, I wouldn't stay there and watch it. I'd run to my friends and tell them because I would want everyone to see it too.

Conscience is the name which the orthodox give to their prejudices.

New York has always been a sense of eclectic kind of freedom and expression on a lot of different levels.

Unfortunately, the client that exists today is still pretty much the prototype design.
