Has strong roots with Brazil - she very frequently visits Rio de Janeiro, where she promoted her film Human Zoo at the "Festival do Rio" in 2009, but also pays visit to the Gracie family academies in Rio, due to the fact that she practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has spoken very kindly about this type of martial arts.
I spent two months on the set with Brian De Palma. I watched
everything. Even then I didn't have any scenes I'd hang around just to

make the most of the experience. It was amazing.
