Jennifer Connelly Filmography

• I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy.
• "I like the movement of being on the road, and being away from phones."
• On smoking: "I can go days at a time without it and be really repulsed by it."
• "I don't think I would be doing this quality of work if it hadn't been for my son. He's changed me. He's helped me to understand myself and find my place in the world."
• "I so much enjoy being able to completely allow myself to be consumed by a role, and really grow in the process, once you've done that, it's hard to go back working on things you don't care about."
• On beauty: "Surgery? Never considered it. That's not even part of the equation for me. But in terms of looks, how you walk, how much you exercise and how much you eat - all that stuff was really overwhelming for me for a long time, and it made me really self-conscious and kind of twisted for a while. I didn't quite get it."
