One year I was given a birthday present I’ll never forget – a cooking lesson from Jamie Oliver.
I think that the process of figuring out what kind of leader I wanted to be was challenging, because as an actor, you work alone, really.
I just had a baby. I’m not going to work unless it’s something really special and meaningful, because I can’t imagine missing all that time with my daughter.
On daughter Apple’s accent: She says Mummy instead of Mommy, I don’t mind that. I will if she starts saying basil and pasta the English way, as that really drives me nuts.
Be really, really true to yourself. That to me, has been key to me in understanding how I want to live the second half of my life.
I’ve learned a lot about genuinely not caring what strangers think about me. It’s very liberating.
Doubt, not self-reflection, comes from a destructive energy, and when it rears its head, I talk to it like a lunatic.
She’s French, so she’s teaching them French, and their previous nanny was Spanish, so they’re fluent in Spanish.
I think the most clear, direct way to empowerment is to really know yourself and to really use your voice and to not be afraid of other people’s reactions.
We’re human beings and the sun is the sun-how can it be bad for you? I don’t think anything that’s natural can be bad for you.
I’ll never forget it. I was starting to hike up the red rocks, and honestly, it was as if I heard the rock say, ‘You have the answers. You are your teacher.’ I thought I was having an auditory hallucination.
In my 20s because I was working on films so much and travelling so much and doing press, I was single with no kids and I think that’s the time when not only are you trying on looks, but you’re trying on personalities – you’re still really forming.
I started boxing one day a week to experience aggression, which has been really interesting.
Is it better not to drink alcohol and eat fried food and not have cheese and never have a cigarette at a party? Of course, but that’s just not life.
I’m a real blue jeans girl, I wear jeans all the time and I couldn’t live without them. Jeans and blazers.
I do really believe that beauty comes from within, mostly how you feel about yourself and how you express love of yourself, but also in the form of nutrition.
I really am a smoothie person. I love making a morning smoothie and then will drink some coffee and will not eat at all before lunch.
I try to do one thing at a time to utilise my time well.
Mornings and afternoons are my family time and I’m lucky that I can drop the kids off at school, I don’t have to be at the office or anything.
I cook and I really believe in the family dinner, I think that’s a nice time to bring the family together.
Unfortunately, most products are full of plastic and silicones and parabens and things that are really not good for us but they give that silky finish.
