You express different energies at different times in your life.

I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part.

I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.

I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

When mind, body, and spirit are in harmony, happiness is the natural result.

I have so much to be thankful and grateful for, and I just think about my fans, who did put me to where I am. I can promise you this: my appointment at Moschino did not come from anyone but them.
