I thought I needed to be successful to be somebody. At the same time, growing up in a strict household, it was like, 'Don't ever do a movie with sex in it. Don't do anything risky because we don't want to be embarrassed by you.' But then I started to do things to make me happy. You figure out who you are and accept it.

Boogie Nights was quite explicit and my parents were horrified. They didn't really want to hear my point of view, and thought that, because I took the part, then I was like that in real life. It would be nice if I did have a good relationship with my family, and yes, part of me longs to have a mom and dad who love and accept me for who I am. But if they never do, it's OK. I've learned to take care of myself.

What most people know about tantric sex is that Sting does it and it lasts eight hours. But he is not having sex continually. You can take a bath, massage your partner, listen to music. The idea is that you let the whole thing build very slowly until finally you merge with your partner. It works for me.

I have a lot of persistence and determination. Its just a feeling that this is what Im supposed to be doing. I just feel like I have a desire to do this, and it feels like its beyond my control, so I have to keep doing it. You do make choices, but in another way I feel like its your fate and your destiny, what happens to you.

Ts funny. The longer I have been in the business, the more I realized how important it is to have other things in my life. Have normal, healthy people around me, not focusing on the business all the time, not always going to see every moviejust being really happy. Ive been evaluating how much I value happiness in my life. To be too driven takes away your happiness.

I definitely like not working sometimes. Its so fun. I just love sleeping in. In America, everyone is driven to succeed and wake up and do something. But I dont care. I want to sleep in. I want to relax. I dont want to have to get up everyday.

I'd like to think I could do something great - a performance like Meryl Streep's in 'Sophie's Choice' - at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to be great.
