Personal quotes
"It was hysterical. We wanted to make it naughty and fun. When the camera stopped rolling, it was hard to stop laughing." - about her love scene with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
"I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life."
