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’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 was really hyperactive as a kid and no one knew how or where I got all this energy.
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 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.
There are people who expect me to look the way I do on-screen, where I have a great director of photography and fantastic lighting. I'm sorry to disappoint people, but I don't look like that all the time - no actress does.
If my husband's going to kiss anybody, let it be Matt Damon.
I don't eat carbs after 17h00 and I drink skimmed milk.
When you are 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30, that seemed like a major milestone.
I'd love to do a show in Vegas with drag queens. The tackier the better.
I'm a terrible cook. I am not allowed to go in the kitchen anymore after I almost burned down the apartment in New York.
