My actual beauty routine is pretty simple, I try and have a facial once in a while. I'm not a huge products girl. I have so much going on with work and kids, I just use moisturiser basically.
If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish.
Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidney. I'm so tired. But when you're having dinner with your kids and your husband and someone says something funny or you're dying laughing because your three-year-old made a fart joke, it doesn't matter what else is going on. That's real happiess.
I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.
I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.
There have been countless times where I've worked out with my kids crawling around all over the place. You just make it work.
Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don't have that many good years left in me.
I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I'm prepping for something or I've been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.
My golden time is after I drop the kids off at school. I'm usually working on my website (lifestyle site Goop) and checking emails but I try to do something at least once a week - like a facial or a visit to the osteopath - something to bring myself back into my body.
When you're so out there in the public eye, people are constantly criticizing every aspect about you.
In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.
I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.
As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England.
If you have a very hot experience then shock yourself with cold water, it's very very good for the nervous system.
