I think, especially in our business we meet a lot of people, and sometimes you spend so much time being nice to strangers, and so, you know, keeping a clear head and just being nice to each other. And that's all the advice I can give.
I love to eat an apple after a meal, just to cleanse my teeth - they always look polished afterwards.
I rub a mixture of honey and salt all over my body to moisturise and exfoliate. You wash it off and your skin is gorgeous.
After Zorro, people spoke Spanish to me for ages. I'm Welsh but that movie instantly gave me a new ethnicity.
We recently had an extension built, to house a closet. It's like the Tardis - I go in there and never come out.
I don't have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don't need anyone to motivate me. I love exercise, even things like the elliptical and stretching.
Motherhood to me is something that I always wanted, but never quite knew how it was going to happen.
I like 'Zorro.' I like people you can believe that don't have those stupid powers. That is the beauty of Zorro. He's just a guy working for the people, to save the people.
I don't know, 'Zorro' was just so great for me because, knowing where I came from, everyone spoke Spanish to me, like, forever after that. And I'm, like, from Wales.
I don't deny myself food. I'm no saint. I love butter and cream, but I also eat lots of grains and fruits.
All that 'poor hometown girl who marries into Hollywood royalty'. It's actually quite insulting to my parents.
I like to feel sexy. I know my husband thinks I'm sexy. I think he is too. But I don't go out half-naked with 'sex' written across my back.
There are a lot of women who live with pot-bellied pigs.
I think egg boiling is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I can make a tiramisu anytime you want.
