I can understand there are things like shadows they need to fix after a shoot, but it's unfair to represent an image of yourself if it's not true. They're gonna see what you look like on film anyway, so why try to cover all your wobbly bits in a photo?
I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.
It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.
The performances I enjoy are the ones that are hard to read or ambiguous or left-of-centre because it makes you look closer and that's what humans are like - quite mysterious creatures, hard to pinpoint.
The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.
Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films.
After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.
A lot of period dramas can appear quite arch to most people, stuffy.
It's nothing to be ashamed of to have a stutter.
Cate's absolutely spellbinding. She was like that just eating a sandwich. I knew at the time I was privileged, but since she's become God's gift to actresses I realise exactly how lucky I was.
I find it very strange doing voiceover stuff, because you find you have to enunciate and make stupid faces in order for the point to make sense, because it's playing against the deadpan Simpson face. If you're just speaking in the regular way you speak, it will sound really boring.
I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers, so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.
Why should you have to atone for making big movies?
I'm with someone who makes me incredibly happy. I'm not one of those people who subscribes to the idea that marriage takes the romance out of things. I think it gets better, it deepens. I love being a wife. We have a blast.
