Apparently, I get facials and manicures all the time. I read this and think, ‘Oh, I wish I did that!’ I don’t think I’ve had a facial since I was 19.
Were I not married to the director, I’m not sure I’d know anything about the ‘Underworld’ sequel.
I am used to wearing corsets. Even when I was first starting out it was either Shakespeare or Chekov. Everything that I was doing involved corsets. I guess I am just not destined to breathe that deeply.
It’s a very difficult thing losing a parent, but I think there’s an added complication for me, because he was so well-loved and he had this very open charm that made people feel they had a personal relationship with him.
Someone once said that you can make the choice between getting old and getting creepy, and I think getting old is the way to go.
As an actor, your motives and your own crazy psyche is really all you’re responsible for in the movie.
Job-wise, I did have a moment of panic that I should have been a doctor a few years ago, but I hate when people vomit.
If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humor.
I’m glad I’ve never been so successful that I couldn’t stop doing one thing. I’ve kind of been able to just kick it along and switch around.
If I had a child actor, I would wish for it to be in an Adam Sandler movie, because he just comes in and makes them so comfortable and is so brilliant with them and they all go home and they that they’ve got this special relationship.
I’m attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it’s a journey that is much more interesting.
I was a very difficult child, and the time I spent reading was about the only peace I gave my mother.
I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything.
I think actors always like to think they don’t bring the character home, and then their family all laugh and tell you otherwise.
I love my fan base because they never high-five me; they always get really shifty and hide. Adam Sandler’s fan base are like, ‘Hey!’ and high-five him and want to hang out, but mine go behind pillars and get really freaked out.
I have a husband who literally worships me. And cleans the house. And blow-dries my daughter’s hair.
Apparently, I’m very good at firing a gun without blinking, which is unusual. That’s why so many action characters have to wear sunglasses during shoot-out scenes. That’s my party trick.
No one is more enslaved than a slave who doesn’t think they’re enslaved.
I have found being a mother has made me emotionally raw in many situations. You heart is beating outside your body when you have a baby.
Given that I can’t sing like Freddie Mercury, obviously I’m not going to pursue it as a career. What would be the point?
If I get a script that’s set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don’t think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I’m really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.
