I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking.
Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.
To produce foie gras, ducks and geese are force-fed enormous amounts of grain and fat, which causes their livers to swell to many times the normal size.
I never had crushes on anybody when I was younger; I really didn't.
There's always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.
A lot of the girls were awful, very catty. It was a competitive environment that I didn't like. You have no idea of the anorexia I saw around me.
There's a lot of judgement that can come from outside sometimes, and there's media scrutiny that is placed on a lot of women in the public eye, and I just couldn't care less. I really couldn't care less.
There's more to life than cheek bones.
I do have impossibly high standards.
I'm not a gardener. I wish I was.
I have wrinkles which are very evident. I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, 'You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please, can you change it back?'
I hate people thinking I'm some pretentious fraud.
As an adult and a parent, when I'm not acting, I'm not acting. I'm being a parent, and I'm on the school run, and I'm sewing labels onto socks. That's what I'm doing.
I think heartbreak is something that you learn to live with as opposed to learn to forget.
I've never left them to go do a film. No, we all go together. I could never leave them. My kids are my whole world.
My grandparents - both of my mother's parents - were actors, and they ran the Reading Repertory Theatre Company, through the town of Reading, where I come from.
I need to be looked after. I'm not talking about diamond rings and nice restaurants and fancy stuff - in fact, that makes me uncomfortable. I didn't grow up with it, and it's not me, you know. But I need someone to say to me, 'Shall I run you a bath?' or 'Let's go to the pub, just us.'
'Revolutionary Road' is a fascinating study of the human condition of a fragmenting marriage and the torment that these two people put themselves through in their efforts to try and find happiness and try and stay together, actually.
I won't allow magazines in the house. When I was younger, I wanted to have my hair cut like so-and-so in the class above me at school, not somebody in a magazine. You see young girls trying to dress like so-and-so because they've seen lots of pictures of them.
My body will never go back to what it was, and I wouldn't expect it to after three babies.
