I think what's dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think, 'Well, I can totally handle myself now.' But if my opponent didn't know the other half of the routine, I don't know how well I'd do.
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.
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.
Obviously I've had great experiences with people I've worked with on films - I've married half of them! I should come with a warning sign that says, 'Don't worry, I'm not going to try to marry you. I'm done.'
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.
As a mother, you feel much more vulnerable. And when you're vulnerable, you're a much better actress.
I didn't go looking to marry an American, it just kinda happened like that.
With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.
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.
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?
I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.
I feel like I'm really lucky.
I didn't feel very attractive as a child and actually I wasn't.
I think that dwelling on other people's perception of you is the road to complete madness, unfortunately. I try and resist that.
I feel like I flunked at adolescence really badly. I found it really difficult.
The secret to everything for me is doing yoga every day. It does do nice things for your body, but it also kind of calms you down and chills you out. Other than that, I don't really drink alcohol and I always take my makeup off at night!
I'm attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it's a journey that is much more interesting.
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.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to present at the Golden Globes, come home, whipped the dress off and read to my daughter wearing gazillion-dollar earrings. That's how it goes in my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
This is what's sick about living in L.A. My eight-year-old daughter will point to a woman and say, 'Look! That woman's had too much Botox.' She spots them because they all look a bit like Lord Voldemort from 'Harry Potter.'
