A good eye cream is really important when you are traveling, busy and stressed-that’s when the dark puffy circles can get you.
Having been here before and lost, to be here and win, I’ve got to tell you, winning is really a lot better than losing. Really a lot better.
It’s funny when someone says to you ‘you’re hot’ and all that, because I don’t think of it in that way.
God, my brain really goes to mush when I’m pregnant.
I love the routine. I love getting up in the morning and getting breakfast and packing lunches and doing the school run. Those things are really important to me. Because I think that those small but key moments are crucial for a kid.
Youre supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for Gods sake!
It’s true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but you know I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks.
I will tell you that when I was heavy, people would say to me – and it was such a backhanded compliment – they would say, ‘You’ve got such a beautiful face,’ in the way of, like, ‘Oh, isn’t it a shame that from the neck down you’re questionable.’
Everybody asks me this, whether I’m slightly annoyed that I didn’t get to kiss Johnny Depp We would have laughed.
I ordinarily do one film a year and the rest of the time I’m at home with the kids. Even when I am working I’m still basically at home and with the kids. I’ve never left them to go to work.
I’m always inspired by actresses who are older than me. Because I know that person has lived so much more life than I have. There’s a whole other toolbox.
But I really can’t and I actually don’t like switching off because I worry that I might lose my thread, or something. I fall asleep and I hope to God that I’m going to dream about it, because then I don’t have to put it down.
I knew it was going to be important that if I had an audience understand who she was, then all those things had to come from a place that was grounded, as opposed to being tics and manners and twitches. I didn’t think it was going to be as rich, perhaps, as if I was going to make it more emotional.
I’ve never understood the notion that actors and actresses should look great on-screen just because they’re on-screen. That doesn’t make sense to me.
Apart from The Holiday, I haven’t really spent a huge amount of time in LA. Not that I avoid it, it’s just that I don’t often go there unless I’m doing press. The one thing I have discovered about LA with kids is that it’s really great for children. They really like the sun and making sand castles.
I love to cook; I cook every day. Chicken features a lot in our lives.
Obviously, for the majority of parents and certainly me you gain a million worlds when you have a child. Certainly, it’s the thing that’s changed my life and made me unbelievably happy.
I wouldn’t be a part of anything that had acts of violence toward children. I don’t think I would do a horror film, either. That just doesn’t sit well on my soul.
I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.
Yeah, acting is very difficult. As much as I love it, and the challenge of it, I’m so often just terrified by it.
For me, they definitely made it more challenging. The comfort zone factor really kicked in between Leo and I, and I just think that’s because we know each other so well. We’ve known each other since we were 20-years-old.
