When I was a kid, I got really great advice from someone who is so important to me and someone who I respect so much, and they told me, 'Don't do too many endorsements. Don't throw your name on things; think of your longevity.'
Whatever I've experienced in my life is a part of my story, and I'm proud of that. But it's someone who wakes up early, works all day, believes in charitable work, business-minded, diligent, accountable, problem-solving... I'm so much about school, consistency and tradition.
I've always wanted to work with Hugh [Grant] because I loved his movies.
Families in real life don't tend to resolve things neatly.
I hate women who say they can eat whatever they want, because I don't relate to that at all. It isn't fair! I absolutely live for food.
If I ever start talking to you about my 'craft', my 'instrument', you have permission to shoot me.
I'm glad I lived such a full life before I settled down into a family because I got to enjoy it and get it out of my system.
Life's too short. We have to love each other.
Once you've been in a mental institution, people are going to look at you funny.
I used to have a blankie, and when my mom had to wash it, I would sit outside the dryer and watch it go round and round, and cry.
I think chemistry is finding something you love about a person and then transfering it to an in love kind of thing.
Everything I do, I do infinite percent.
I love Tate Modern; there's such great style and shopping here. I love the galleries and the pubs out on the street, just having your pint as the sun is setting.
When you work in film, you learn to appreciate a distributor. You can have this great little film, but if you don't have a distributor, you are sitting in your living room with a great little film.
