And You Also Have To

Career Is Important, But Nothing Really Supersedes My Roles As A Mother.

I Archive A Lot Of My Clothes And Have Them Wrapped Up And In Boxes. I Call Them 'little Tombs' And Keep Them In A Storage Space... I Would Never Get Rid Of The Dress I Wore On The Night I Won My Oscar. When I Die, Someone Can Have It, But Not A Minute Before!

I've Always Thought That When Anyone Receives An Award For Acting They Should Always Thank Their Fellow Actors, Because The Only Way You're Going To Deliver Your Best Performance Is When You Have Other Good Actors On The Set Supporting You And Being Very Present For You Even When The Camera Is Not On Them.

Let Me Tell You Something - Being Thought Of As A Beautiful Woman Has Spared Me Nothing In Life. No Heartache, No Trouble. Love Has Been Difficult. Beauty Is Essentially Meaningless And It Is Always Transitory.

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.
