If I weren't performing I'd be a beauty editor or a therapist. I love creativity but I also love to help others. My mother was a hairstylist and they listen to everyone's problems - like a beauty therapist!

I am an unconventional beauty. I grew up in a high school where if you didn't have a nose job and money and if you weren't thin you weren't cool popular beautiful. I was always told that I wasn't pretty enough to be on television.

The townspeople outside the reservations had a very superior attitude toward Indians which was kind of funny because they weren't very wealthy they were on the fringes of society themselves.

As I wrote I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren't in her character. She was older soft-spoken and she started showing some attitude.

I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends living like starving artists and wonder 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.

Working on such a big film was amazing. I learned a lot. There weren't too many stunts just some doubling.

I wore my first pair of Louboutins during this press tour. It was absolutely amazing they weren't heels they were little shoes but they were velvet and they were blue.

I've never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I'd get married in a minute if I weren't still married to somebody else.

High expectations weren't nurtured in my neck of nowhere back then - children weren't fawned over from an early age as 'gifted' and groomed for a prizewinning future self-esteem was considered something you had to pick from the garden yourself.

I hate to mention age but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television.
