I probably spent the first 20 years of my life wanting to be as American as possible. Through my 20s and into my 30s I began to become aware of how so much of my art and architecture has a decidedly Eastern character.

I'd said to my sweetheart a couple of days before that the SAG and Spirit Award nomination was amazing and I had no attachment to the Academy Award. I knew I was an underdog so I just decided to sleep through the announcement.

I decided to give acting a serious committed try and soon after I read the script for 'Lovely and Amazing.' The story was beautiful and honest and the characters struggled with the same insecurities many women - including me - face.

What has made America amazing has been the fact that throughout our history throughout the more than 200 years of our history there have been men and women of courage who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures.

And you know when I was growing up I knew I wanted to have kids but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41 42 I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on but even then it would be with a partner.

I can't hit on women in public any more. I didn't decide this it just doesn't feel right at my age.
