I'd rather do theater and British films than move to LA in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
I don't own copies of my own movies.
I kept my head; I mean, I've never been one of those people who ended up in the gutter with sick in my hair.
I lend my daughter beauty products, but only as a treat. If she's going to a party, I'll let her borrow a mascara or moisturizer.
I'm not a believer in hiding things from my kids because ultimately they are going to have questions - they feel things.
I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a relatively slow reader.
The early stage of pregnancy for me is quite hard to hide.
The countryside, particularly, is very good for my head.
The happiness I feel in having a family has brought me a real beauty.
The growing-up-fast part weirdly happened between the ages of 15 and 22.
I'd never want to do something just for the show of it.
I love Lancome's L'Absolu Rouge lipstick, as it lasts. Unless you spend the whole night snogging, you won't need to reapply it.
I ordinarily do one film a year and the rest of the time I'm at home with the kids. Even when I am working I'm still basically at home and with the kids. I've never left them to go to work.
I don't read reviews. Just because that is something that's directly connected to my job. I'm doing this because I love it, not because I'm necessarily looking for approval or anything like that. To me, it seems that reading reviews - whether they're good ones or bad ones - can only sort of force the person to divorce themselves from the reality of what it is they do for a living. So I don't read reviews.
