Critics can be harsh and I think it's going to take me a long time to make people see what I have inside of me and that I really put my guts into movies and that I'm not superficial and that I'm not just a pretty face.

Above all, I dislike vulgarity.

I realized through my personal travels how little I know about certain conflicts, because I was too vain or self-absorbed to ask the questions. That's been the focus while I'm in my thirties - to become an accomplished woman, rather than some actress.

I went to a Catholic school, and I just rebelled.

I made a French film called 'Merry Christmas' which is a very European film. It's a World War I piece.
