Just because you`re of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don`t sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don`t. There`s always a good reason for doing something.

I don`t know how to cook and there`s so much work involved you have to buy the groceries and prepare them. I like it when people cook for me, or I`ll just order some take-out.

I live in New York. I don`t really particularly want to move to LA.

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody`s path, what they`ve done.

The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up looking phoney.

It`s never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you`re the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.

I love scary movies. The Shining and Don`t Look Now are two of the best.

I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it`s great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.

I have a friend in New York who`s a stylist and I went over to her place because she`s got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it`s all stuff that I brought over.

Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I`d say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I`d only be in action films, but I`m interested in a more varied career than that.

I want to work with great directors. I want to work on good material with good actors. I`ve probably done 20 movies at this point and a lot of independents. It`s been an incredible ride and I love it and I`m just going to keep going and doing what I`m doing.

Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasn`t in the script. It was something that I came up with.

I know Dark Phoenix is a huge part of the X-Men saga, so I`m assuming they`re at least going to want to touch on it, but I don`t know and I don`t know whether I would want to be involved. That depends on many different things.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He`s a very talented director.

As long as corruption exists, human trafficking will likely flourish I`d like to give something back on an issue that matters to me.

I`m a firm believer in taking risks in life, because you`ll never get anywhere unless you do, and the more risk involved the greater the outcome - or the worse, but you never know so you`ve got to go for it.

Looking back, boy, has there ever been a stigma in being a Bond Girl. That`s what my mission in life is, just to prove them wrong. That`s why I have such an urge to keep going and proving that. It`s so silly. What on earth does the way you look have anything to do with whether you can act or not.

"I love darkness. I am attracted to the dark side of life! I thought it was really interesting that Jean Grey went through some changes in this film." - About her character`s change in X2 (2003) (aka X-Men United)

I think acting is just like that. There is something childish and fun about it.

I don`t even like talking about dating. It`s like having a stamp on your forehead: `I`m available and I`m looking`.

I don`t want to be exploited. That of course, as an actress, is a real challenge, not to be exploited. So I`m just going to keep looking for as many different types of roles as I can find in different genre movies. That`s my goal, my aim. I like doing that. I`ve had a pretty varied career so far."

We`ve always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

I would rather not work than play in a movie that nobody watches.
