Growing up outside your own country makes you feel that you don't belong when you return, so you feel free to make friends with whomever you like.

A career for me is something like building a bridge. You know, where to put the lifts. You have a plan. I have a blueprint for each film, but not for my life.

I didn't foresee my career. Things happen.

Making pizza is a great job. All that kneading the dough - everything to do with cooking is wonderful, sensual.

All the women in my family were superb cooks.

I was born into a family of preachers.

My first big one-person show was basically a combination of my family, me during puberty, embarrassing newspaper articles that were written about me in high school, my first modeling photos, and terrible things that people said about me on the Internet.

Above all, I believe every child, no matter their ZIP code or their parents' jobs, deserves access to a quality education.
