I was really hyperactive as a kid and no one knew how or where I got all this energy.
I do think I'm lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen.
I've always wanted to hunt another human being for sport, even though I know his fear will taint the taste of the meat.
I’m more insecure than I ever let anyone know. Sometimes you protect yourself with this kind of armor that people see more than they see you.
When I first met Sean Connery he was as charming and wonderful as I first anticipated. I left Rome thinking: even if I don't do this, at least I have had a day with Sean.
I love 'The War Of The Roses,' especially as my husband is in it! I've often said to him it would be great to remake that with me and him in it, because then we could really get down to some serious business.
I'm quite a broad girl, not at all delicate. I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I'm against diets. I eat when I'm hungry, three meals a day.
I remember growing up knowing I wanted to be on the stage. I wanted to get to London as soon as possible and start auditioning for theater.
Everyone knows we get paid a lot of money, so why pretend otherwise?
I buy shoes sometimes and use them as bookends. They're too beautiful to wear.
I do a lot of swimming, both in the ocean and in the pool.
I have a ballet barre in my gym. I turn the music up so loud that the walls are pulsating, and I go for it for an hour.
I have siblings. And there are certain things I know that I can push their buttons. And they know they have certain things where they can push mine.
It's true, I don't like the whole cutoff-shorts-and-T-shirt look, but I think you can look fantastic in casual clothes.
