When you're stretching yourself, as a role like 'Blue Jasmine' did for me, you risk falling flat on your face.

For 'Blue Jasmine,' I made a decision not to wear any make up in the last shot of the film, as I felt like she had such a mask on - I thought it would be a good idea to leave her with nothing and become completely transparent.

An actress once advised me, 'Make sure you do your own laundry - it will keep you honest.'

When I have my moments of insomnia, you'll find me on style.com.

It's important to travel and move and have a continual set of experiences so you've got more to feed back into your work. For me, it's a natural thing.

Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
