• On having diabetes: "My teacher told me at the age of 10 that when I grew up, I was going to be given a gift. Diabetes turned out to be it. It gave me the strength and toughness I needed for my life."
• "People honestly seem to believe that I ran into Ron at Elton John's Oscar party and insisted Revlon give me a raise! It's not true."
• "I'm so proud to be an actor, I can't tell you,"
• "One of the greatest results is the fact I'm getting some really great parts." And really great money? I feel more opportunities are starting to happen. And I'm just reveling in it."
• "I was going to sit in the car and asphyxiate myself. As I sat there sort of waiting for it to happen, and something was telling me on the right side of my brain, 'Girl, don't do it.' I thought, 'What is my mother going to think if she finds me dead in this car?' I couldn't do that to her. So I got out."
• "I play the feminine James Bond. She's the next step in the evolution of women in the Bond movies. She's more modern -- more intelligent -- and not the classic villain."
• "I was still using men and my mate to identify who I was. And when that was gone, then I was nothing."
• "I was like the Energizer bunny, and I needed to slow down." [lessons learned after her car accident]
