I've never had anything done on my face. I've never had dermabrasion or peels or injections of any kind, nothing.

Imagine if I'd said, 'I have to be the best actress - I want that and nothing else.' I never would have directed. I never would have produced. I never would have done a beauty line. I would have just worried about getting a job or been frustrated that I wasn't getting the job that I wanted. I was ready to be a businesswoman.

I'll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.

I said, 'I'm going to the United States to study with Stella Adler and do movies because nobody here has done it and my passion is films.' But I came here and I didn't speak English, I didn't have a green card, I didn't know I had to have an agent, I couldn't drive, I was dyslexic.

I have a farm and I love it there. There's really nothing to do, but even watching the chickens, its fun.

What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
