I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.

Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.
