facts comfort chance
The fact is that I like thrillers and action movies. But what really fulfills me is getting out of my comfort zone, taking chances.
hair self feels
I am my best self when I have super-short hair. That's when I feel most like me and most confident.
struggle book reading
During really difficult times in my life when I start questioning why I am struggling with something, I often turn to books to understand myself better.
fun careers challenges
I want to do roles that are fun and challenging and I want to try different things. I don't want to keep doing Monster's Ball over and over and over again. I want to keep doing my career the way that I was doing it before I won the Oscar.
life-changing taken ultrasounds
It's an amazing feeling to know that life is actually growing inside your body. The first time you see the ultrasound and you see the little bones and you realise that it's part of you and it's in your care is life changing and this sort of protective instinct has taken over.
running real school
When a young woman tells me that she wants to become and actor, I say, 'No, be a writer. Or go to business school and learn how to run a studio.' The only real change will come from behind the scenes.
school tenacity left
By the time I left school, I had a lot of tenacity.
stupid thinking dumb
You have to get the audience invested even if you're doing something that they think is dumb, it's kind of what these movies are all about.
unique thinking race
If you're of multiple races, you have a different challenge, a unique challenge of embracing all of who you are but still finding a way to identify yourself and I think that's often hard for us to do.
inspirational mother self
My mother never wanted me to focus on my physical self. She always said that beauty is what you do.
cheerleading editors class
I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.
criticism scrutiny subjects
Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.
secret nobody-knows knows
After all, everybody has secrets and there are some things that nobody knows about you but only you, right?
tiny contribution humans
I know I'm only one human being and I'm only making one tiny contribution and it's nothing more than that.
