There's a higher form of happiness in commitment. I'm counting on it.

Armani's clothes are beautiful and modern and I love him.

I play Hopkins' daughter. Brad Pitt plays Death. He's a very-good looking Death. With him, dying isn't so bad.

If I had a great body, I'd be naked all the time.

I just finished Meet Joe Black with Hopkins.

I'm lucky I had parents willing to be open and believe that an 11-year-old might know what she wanted to do. Or maybe they thought I'd find out that's what I didn't want to do.

Sometimes I miss the spirit of London, but it's a very gray place.

My parents are Italian and British. They live in Berkeley now - we all moved there four years ago.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.
