Personal Quotes

I know people think that acting is not quite the occupation of grown-ups, but it is actually the ultimate learning process: You get a multitude of experiences, all for the price of one life.

I'm a Volver type of girl, 21 Grams, films like that. On the edge and really risky.

Oh, it's fantastic stuff, all about the young Henry VIII and his brash, vibrant court. It's everything a period drama shouldn't be: super-sexy, raw, and violent. (On The Tudors.)
