I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.
I don't have those great, strong, glowing pregnancies.
I don't know... part of, I suppose, my way out of everything, has been really taking care of myself. I think that comes from an awareness that my children really need me, and they need me to be the healthiest version of myself that I can possibly be.
I don't know why I'm suddenly playing nasty people. It is very fun, though, and it isn't real, at the end of the day.
My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads. My children live with me; that is it.
None of this 'different diets' lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad.
No one has a right to comment on anyone's life or the choices I do or don't make.
No one can look bad when you've been lit for six hours.
My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver.
Mum and Dad were very much friends and up for life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up; they just taught me to be me.
My god, I'm not really doing it for that. I don't think we really need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It's like, how many have there been? We get it! It was grim! Move on! No, I'm doing it because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust? Guaranteed Oscar. I've been nominated for four. Never won!
I don't beat myself up any more about going to work. It doesn't mean I'm being a bad mother just because I want to go and do my job sometimes.
I am a person. I am not a soap opera.
No actor wants to play someone else's performance.
