I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam. I woke up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue on my hip. I realized I made a mistake, so a few months later I got a cross to cover it. When my pants hang low, it looks like I'm wearing a dagger!
I'm a fairy. I'd come and hear, "How was your day, honey?" And I'd be like, "I was a fairy. I don't know."
I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.
I've had a wonderful career and I'm very happy to have had all of the opportunities that I've had to tell stories and work for as long as I have. I'm sure there'll be a few more films but I'm happy that I'm able to be selective.
I think it is funny that we were freer about sexuality in the 4th century B.C. It is a little disconcerting.
I don't really send text messages. I rarely carry my phone. I occasionally check messages at the end of the night, but I don't carry it around.
For anybody that works in any kind of demining or any kind of humanitarian aid work, there is danger and it's always a high-risk area [in Cambodia].
I'm able to be very effective because I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican. So, I'm not tied, and I'd never want to be tied to anything, to some constituency that I would have to answer to.
I don't really have girlfriends in movies, if you've noticed. Well, I have a few girlfriends, I just... I stay at home a lot. I'm just not very social. I don't do a lot with them, and I'm very homebound. I'll talk to my family, I talk to Brad... But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to.
Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.
If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you're solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion
I know my children will never have to say, 'Mom died of ovarian cancer.'
If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.
Films that I want to do are few and far between.
