| Quotes: |
I found myself a sophisticated, educated American. He's not an actor. He's traveled the world. He knows where Europe is, unlike a lot of Americans. He's very cultured, but he's all man.
<br />
<hr>
You just have to play every scene honestly and forget about a reaction and what the audience is going to think. I think the more seriously you take something, the more funny it might be.
<br />
<hr>
People find out I'm an actress and I see that 'whore' look flicker across their eyes.
<br />
<hr>
I find Hollywood really toxic.
<br />
<hr>
I have absolutely no empathy for camels. I didn't care for being abused in the Middle East by those horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. They don't like people. It's not at all like the relationship between horses and humans. |
