You should put scent where you like to be kissed.
I love to do very long and complicated scenes.
I love vampire stories. That's why I did the movie. Women especially were taken with that movie-even more so when it came out on video.
I never hoped that both my children would become actors. I expected them to do something else.
It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.
I was never a dangerous woman. I'm not the prissy blonde woman that could take your husband away.
I'm lucky; people write scripts for me.
I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working.
I have no physical courage, I've asked for a double.
I didn't devote my life to acting. I give a lot to my work, but my life has always been more important.
Lesbians and gays... they still have to fight, even inside. It's not that simple, even if they seem to be accepted.
I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.
People who know me know I'm strong, but I'm vulnerable.
You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today.
