As a devoted mother and private person, and with complete awareness that my daughter will one day be old enough to read the news about herself, I would only like to say that I will never, ever be commenting on the dissolution of my marriage.

I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it's a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing.

I think marriage initially involves a lot of people who have nothing to do with your relationship, because it's a legally binding contract, and that has a weight to it.

I'm not telling people where to give money, but if there is to be a spotlight shed on me, then I'd like to direct that spotlight onto causes I think are worthy or onto interesting, progressive figures.

I've always had the same principle for choosing roles, which is to try and make movies that I would pay to see. As I get older, that's meant different things.

It's important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone else - to gauge where you are and work on your own issues.

I have always been fascinated by Indian history and architecture.

Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.

There hasn't been any art yet. Art is just beginning.

There has been a change in attitude, though.

I have been drawn to stories that are attempting to turn suffering into beauty.

I'm a romantic. The impressionists have always been my favorites. I like prettiness - beauty, or what I perceive as beauty.
