One of the things that I was always, and still am, is quite resourceful.
I never saw 'Titanic' as a springboard for bigger films or bigger pay cheques. I knew it could have been that, but I knew it would have destroyed me.
Mothers who work full time - they're the real heroes.
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
I really believe in, 'Move on, live and let live, forgive and forget.'
I was suddenly really famous, and I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know myself well enough as a person, number one, and as an actor, number two. I wanted to escape.
Sure, I could have lots of people who do the cooking, the driving, all that jazz - but I would be unhappy. I wouldn't want my children raised that way.
I want to keep my health and my sanity and be well and feel happy. Plus, I want to have fun.
I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is.
I finally moved out of my parent's house. It was only fair to let my sister have her own room.
I am not a hypocrite.
I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.
I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that.
There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when it's time to go home and wash my knickers.
My parents met because my father was an actor friend of one of my mom's brothers, but my mother has never set foot on the stage - she's quite shy. So it's a strange thing because people say, 'Oh, coming from acting parents,' when the idea of acting would literally make my mother just want to throw up.
My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don't be ridiculous. Maybe it's because I'm British. To me, Julia Roberts that's a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!
I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.
I think more and more people these days go for the safe option in film making.
My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver.
I'm not the kind of person who's going to look at the top of a mountain and go, 'Oh, look at that! That's lovely. That's lovely, that top of that mountain.' I'm the kind of person who's going to go, 'Oh, my God! That's so lovely! Let's go climb up it!'
