I try to do things where I'm going to feel challenged in some way. I only really do one movie a year.
When I had kids I sort of went into a hole for a few years and I think when I came out of that, I started to really become myself and know what works on me.
I don't have time to devote to putting outfits together before picking up the kids. I'm a creature of habit and in that way, I tend to just go towards what works for me and what's comfortable. It's really important to be comfortable when you're running around after kids.
My actual beauty routine is pretty simple, I try and have a facial once in a while. I'm not a huge products girl. I have so much going on with work and kids, I just use moisturiser basically.
My golden time is after I drop the kids off at school. I'm usually working on my website (lifestyle site Goop) and checking emails but I try to do something at least once a week - like a facial or a visit to the osteopath - something to bring myself back into my body.
I think part of a beauty routine is how you feel and checking in with your inner self, and so I made that commitment to myself to do that.
I try to do one thing at a time to utilise my time well.
I cook and I really believe in the family dinner, I think that's a nice time to bring the family together.
I'll immediately gain, like, 5 pounds even just by thinking about cutting out dessert. It's a nightmare. I decided, for me, the healthiest thing was to eat what I want and just exercise. Some women can watch what they eat, but I just can't do that.
I feel my dad, I still feel his love, and I still love him. I would do anything to have him back, but half the reason that my life is good, has real, true value, is that he died. I would obviously rather have him alive, but he gave me so much in his death.
I love acting, but I have two little kids, and it's 14 hours a day out of the house. You don't get that time back.
I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.
Creating a meal for my friends and family, sitting together, eating, laughing and talking - that is when I am so happy. Oh my God, if you could see how much food I make - I am the original Jewish mother.
I love getting cookbooks - people will give them to me, and I read them like novels and file everything away.
