I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.
I know people like spectacle, but I'm interested in moving people.
The thing that makes me feel powerful is when I make a decision about something and I make it happen.

The Stones in a club is still the ultimate rush.
