It changed me more than anything else. You don’t want to get to that place where you’re the adult and you’re palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.
When I venture out to eat, I like to go to places with food that I don’t know how to make. So my favorites are Japanese and Indian. Indian food has so much layering of flavor, and the dishes go together so harmoniously.
Women were real box office stars in the ’40s, more so than men. People loved to see women’s films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.
If I could just walk around and light the candles with my finger, that would be kind of cool.
Physically, it completely changed me. I found strength that I never thought I had. And mentally, I mean, it’s taught me just patience and letting go, and it’s really changed my whole psychological outlook, I think.
There’s something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.
My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn’t seem to add up to very much.
I’m not sure how healthy bacon is in general, but I know it’s incredibly delicious.
Why I enjoyed doing Iron Man because it opened me up to this new world where fans are so passionate.
I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it’s not about the ring. It’s a grave thing, getting married.
In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
When you’re so out there in the public eye, people are constantly criticizing every aspect about you.
I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.
Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don’t have that many good years left in me.
Because I was newly pregnant, I was sick as a dog, yet I knew all my lines from a year before.
I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They’re my weakness.
I’m a bit traditional in the way that I think that a woman draws her energy from the house. Food is a really nice way of expressing that energy and love, and doing something with care and putting time into it and nourishing your family.
I wasn’t the high-school play queen or anything. And my parents would let not me act until I graduated from college.
I wouldn’t say I’m a mummy’s girl, but I have grown to have a tremendous appreciation of her as a woman. I was very much a daddy’s girl.
I wouldn’t say I’m a very original thinker, but if I have a good experience with something, I’ll want to take it further or adapt it in some way.
