I met Steve McQueen once. Well, met isn’t really the right word.
I don’t want people thinking they know me instead of the character. Steve McQueen has loads of stories about him – who knows what’s true? But it’s great for people to fictionalize rather than know the truth.
When I think of artists that I would have loved to work with, it’s Jimi Hendrix. And Steve McQueen. He’s not a rock star, but he’s kind of a rock star to me.
‘Con Air’ was kind of a turning point for me, in my mind. I never shot anybody in that movie – I never did anything bad – because there were so many bad guys in that movie. I said, ‘The hell with this, I’m just gonna be a lovable guy.’ I’m like Steve McQueen in ‘The Great Escape.’
Steve McQueen is my style hero. He’s just cool, isn’t he?

I have Tom Ford, Gucci, Saint Laurent, McQueen, and odd pieces that I’ve just acquired because I happened to have come across them and felt they have some historical resonance.

I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn’t impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father.
I was working with the likes of Steve McQueen, Matthew McConaughey, Viola Davis, just running the gamut.

I am a California girl, born and raised, so flip-flops and cutoff shorts are my go-to look. An easy Angeleno uniform, so to speak.

You know what I did? I turned down an offer to do ‘Enemy of the People’ with Steve McQueen. It doesn’t matter that the film was never really released. A movie like that, successful or not, adds to your credits. It leads to other roles.

Steve McQueen is a genius. And I think that word is overused, but I think with Steve it’s rightly used. He’s a genius.
I’ve always been a huge admirer and lover of Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang. I love so many British designers like Stella McCartney.
