men thinking fancy
I really fancy Harrison Ford. I've got to say I think he's really divine. He's, like, an older man, I guess, although he's not really that old, obviously. I don't want to offend him
film boring bizarre
I like the theater enormously, but I truly love films - the whole bizarre, boring process that it can be.
mother baby children
I can't pass a puppy, a kid or a baby without stopping. It's really annoying to every boyfriend I've ever head. My mother will roll her eyes and go, "God, really?!" But, I find children funny and great, and I love them.
machines weight quiet
In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience
writing play creative
Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things - to write, to play music, to paint, to cook
grateful nannies helping
As a single mum I have to work, so I'm grateful to have the help of a wonderful and trusted nanny like I had when I was young.
people lasts faces
People go 'You look a lot like Minnie Driver.' Once I said, 'Thanks, Minnie is a great actress.' But, it blew up in my face. This person said, 'Nah, didn't like the last movie she did.
swear-to-god firsts impossible
I swear to God, I would marry the first person who asked me, just because it seems so completely impossible that anyone would ask.
useless
Celebrity is a weird appendage, which is useless unless you do something with it.
singing acting age
I was equally in love with singing and acting from an early age.
best-friend good-friend parent
I don't know why my parents split up. I guess they just drifted apart, but I do know they stayed very good friends.
actresses steps way
As an English actress constantly playing Americans, you already had to step way out of your box in that way.
yoga class cities
I can set up shop anywhere. I've got my oils, I've got my yoga mat and I'm good to go. I must know good yoga classes in about 25 cities on this planet
letting-go sorry mean
There is absolutely no point in sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself. The great power you have is to let go ... focus on what you have, no that which has been mean or unkindly removed.
