Not to sound like a whore, but I've been with . . . I've worked with . . . some very attractive men. Nicolas Cage . . . Al Pacino . . . Ben Stiller . . . and Woody Allen".

[on the challenge of playing an athlete in Spanglish (2004)] I love tennis. I love very aggressive tennis, and I think I'm quite good. Golf, well, of course you can drink beer when you play that, but I take it pretty seriously, and I'm quite good at that. And I'm a good swimmer, and I used to compete in windsurfing.

We have this incredible cast with Billy Bob Thornton, who is maybe my new favorite person in the world. |
