Ambition is important. Of course you can't get anywhere without talent, but there are a lot of talented people. To succeed, you have to be the most ambitious talented person.

I graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles, with an English literature degree and travelled for a year before going to work.

I'm an accidental entrepreneur.

I'm such a bad shopper for myself. I love fashion and all that kind of stuff, but that's sort of the last thing I want to do when I'm done with a film is go shopping. I want to just chill.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
