My new movie, Fools Rush In, is a romantic comedy and the girl I play in that is very warm, very sweet.
I will not have Botox. You know why? Because I eat! I eat the fat, I eat the vegetable, I eat everything. If you exercise and you don't eat enough, it takes its toll on the skin.
I've stolen a couple of hearts and they are in my private collection!
There is an Arabic writer who wrote philosophy and poetry and who brought all religions and all the world together.
Leave it to the Catholics to destroy existence.
If I've been indulging in rich foods, a cleanse is a wonderful way to hit the reset button.
I'm suspicious of people who talk about their feelings to the whole world
Sometimes when we try to get outside of ourselves, to be like someone else, you miss out on so many beautiful things that you don't know that you are because you're looking at someone else.
Try to figure out who you really are and not who you want other people to think you are.
I think today that's a very big problem because of the world we live in and the social media and everything... everybody is obsessed with their own identity, but seen through other people.
Sometimes I decide not to make something because I am proud and think I am better than that - and then I realise I have to pay the rent and I have to take something which is even worse than all the other stuff they offer you because you were being so proud not to take it! But you adjust and sometimes for one reason or another there is no strategy at the end but there is the ability to do the best that you can with what you have.
I think being able to be malleable is a great weapon and I'm a very, very good strategist. I create the most amazing strategies in my head and I have created the most extraordinary strategies in my head for my career...
It's more fun to play a good character with a good director and good actors around you. That's what makes it fun, and the more variety, the better.
I don't care if you hate me or if you like me, as long as somebody gives me a character that is really a character to play. It's fun to be able to have a character and have a director that can direct you into a character. I'm just so happy that I got a good role. I don't care if it's bad or if it's good, and I don't care if it's drama or comedy. They are just so rare to come across.
