Some people have much more pull than other people. But when I say that the public has ultimate responsibility, I'm not saying it in a moral sense. I'm just saying it in the sense of what is it that's really going to bring change. ↗

I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite.
