"Could I use some butter and cheese and eggs in my cooking without going down some kind of hippie shame spiral? Yes. Of course I could."

"I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring and it's not about the wedding. It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things."

"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."

"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."

"My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem."

"It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can."

"My dad always said he couldn't remember a time when I did not want to act."

"If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish."

"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."

"I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely."

"I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling."

"As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England."

"I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, 'No, you've got it all wrong!' "I "just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing."

"The best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends."

"I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom."

"Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first."

"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."

"I love being. There's so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn't it great just being?"

"Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think, 'God, you're so great!' And then you think, 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course, it's for money and status."

"What I've learned is I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it."

"I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties."

"I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist."

"Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends."

"I eat whatever I want. I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable."
