  • Words are changing. I find that old expressions are outdated, so when I write something, I try to find a new expression that hasn't been born yet. It's difficult.

  • I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.

  • Wisdom is to the soul as food is to the body.

  • I'm a short woman with a pretty good body and large breasts — that's not what I think of as sexy.

  • Dance in the body you have.

  • Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part.
