I'm a lot more selective with work these days. My perfect plan is to do one movie every nine months. It would have to be a project that I found inspiring. It would also have to include other actors and a director I am inspired to work with.
I think that women, especially women in my job, come to me because they know I'm very loving and nonjudgmental and I'm not competitive, and I've been through a lot.
I first had a version of this at a Japanese monastery during a silent retreat-don't ask, it's a long story.
I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans,
It’s much harder for me. I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.
If I could just walk around and light the candles with my finger, that would be kind of cool.
There's a portion of the movie where something bad happens to me, and I lose my clothes along the way, so essentially I'm wearing a bra and trousers. There are certain requirements, but luckily I have a good base because I work out often.
I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extra-marital affairs.
I love to cook and feed people. I cook every day.
Why I enjoyed doing Iron Man because it opened me up to this new world where fans are so passionate.
Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidneys. I'm so tired.
People who are criticizing... don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it.
I never knew I could suffer so much. And then, at the same time, you think, now I'm ready to open myself up to life in another way, to make it worth something and make it about the right things and not waste time.
For me when I was growing up, some of the happiest times were when we went to a small island called Nantucket off Massachusetts.
