I love acting, love it. It's the greatest fun in the world. I've never had trouble feeling extremely grateful.
In real life I'm obviously a lot more shy, but once I'm on set and in costume and I'm hidden behind the person I'm playing I feel quite free to experiment.
I love 'Monty Python,' 'Black Adder,' 'Fawlty Towers.' I'm a huge fan of British comedy.
I don't like junk food, just because I don't like the taste of it, but I don't go to the gym - ever.
I think all married couples tend to run things by each other in every capacity and we're not different to them.
I'm not a fashionista. I don't have much experience in that world.
I was raised as a tomboy with boys, and I never really feel like myself when I am really dolled up at premieres and showbiz events.
Women should not have to adopt masculine traits in order to succeed. You should be able to stay as a woman, and in tune with your femininity, and still be equal.
I tell my girlfriends - 'Imagine if all the time you put into waxing and primping, you took all of that energy and put it into something useful.'
I have always felt comfortable tapping into my inner idiot.
The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me is starting a family. That’s as romantic as it gets.
Being a mother is by far my greatest accomplishment.
What I loved about breast-feeding was that bond of one-on-one time. The serotonin that's released calms you down and connects you to the baby.
Unlike typical romantic comedies, Definitely Maybe is not formulaic or predictable and it spans a decade while being set against a political background. Also, the audience doesn't know who ends up with who until the very end, which makes it a sort of "romantic mystery comedy".
