I was like any new bride, who said, 'I'm going to cook for my man.' In fact, once I started a small kitchen fire in a pan. Smoke was pouring from the pan, and I got really scared. Right next to our stove is a small fire extinguisher. You know, easy access.
In Hollywood everything is so documented. If you go for a drink with somebody, it's passed around the world so quickly. So, yes, divorce is talked about a lot, but it's so much more fun to be able to spin it with dark humour, rather than talk about real people's divorces.
I think pre-nups are brilliant. I get very well taken care of.
I came out of the womb wearing make-up!
I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards, but it's very good for the hair.
Words impress me. If a man can speak eloquently and beautifully to me, I just melt on the floor.
I love my lawyer. I have to say that of course!
I love my job but it takes a lot for me to leave my kids, leave my husband and leave my dogs.
I wish I was born in that era: dancing with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, going to work at the studio dressed in beautiful pants, head scarves, and sunglasses.

I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it.
I hated grunge. No one’s more feminist than me, but you don’t have to look as if you don’t give a - you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others - and to yourself.
I get a bit gloomy when it's gloomy.
