"I'm
definitely happy with the way my career has gone, the
success; but I even feel glad that I've experienced some
failure in my life. That gives you perspective and humility
about this business; it's good to realize that you're always
just one movie away from not being in Vogue anymore."
"The joy we
get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into
something that's not necessarily anything true to ourselves.
And it's a power - not being yourself, and being in the
role; it's just like another prop."
"Being a
Southern person and a blonde, it's not a good combination.
Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not
being smart."
"Many people
worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend
half that much energy managing their LIVES. I want to make
my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will
work itself out."
