Every once in a while I go off to do a movie or a television series and I take my art with me. I can stay in character when I paint.
People treat life as though it’s the dress rehearsal for some big show. It’s not. This is it.
When I auditioned for ‘Wedding Crashers,’ the producers had never seen any of my other work except for Bond. I got ‘Wedding Crashers’ partly because I was a Bond girl.
What I love about watercolor is that a lot of happy accidents occur.
I love doing comedy. Absolutely love it. After ‘Wedding Crashers,’ people suddenly realized that it was something I could do.
I have many friends who do not believe in luck; they believe in blessings. Likewise, I do not believe in coincidences; I believe in miracles.
At the end of the day, I let myself have a glass of wine.
I danced with the London Festival at Covent Garden. I’m a ballerina by trade; I’m a ballerina who sings by the way.
I find it interesting that 16-year-olds are having plastic surgery. People in their 40s used to think, ‘I’m aging, I have to do something about it.’ Now children are deciding they don’t like the way they look.
It’s interesting that whenever I meet some of the other Bond girls, I always have something in common, and it is an interesting sorority. We all share about our Bonds. ‘Did your Bond do that?’ ‘Yes mine did!’ So it is quite funny conversations. We may as well be in high school.
After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself.
An agent once told me that if I would lose my English accent, I would never stop working in America.
I did all the Chef Boyardee commercials, in America, when I was young.
I think the good thing about my face is it has always been expressive. With Botox that goes – not what you want as an actress.
I’m proud of my wrinkles. They give my face character. As an actress, you mess with that at your peril.
My father always told me, you can only be your own best. In other words, if you feel you’ve done your best, you’ve done well enough.
Get over jet-lag quickly. I think a lot of people waste the first few days sleeping in the wrong time zone. Sometimes I take melatonin but at other times a glass of wine will do it.
I had ordered long legs, but they never arrived. My eyes are weird too, one is gray and the other is green. I have a crooked smile and my nose looks like a ski slope. No, I would not win a Miss contest.
I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It’s not about a production number, it’s about a meaningful moment between two people that’s witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about.
The Simplest Act Can Change the World Growing up in a cold and distant family, I have struggled my entire life with letting people into my life and my heart. I wake up each morning telling myself to do one small act of kindness for another person. I have seen how even the simplest act can change someone’s day. If all I can give that day is a smile, that is enough. When we are feeling at our worst, nothing can make us feel better than trying to make someone else feel better. – Sue.
