Bring a raincoat, definitely ... or at Least a little umbrella that can fit in your bag, because it always does rain.
I can do short jobs. If I was still starring in three movies every year, there's no way that I'd be the person my kids want when they fall down.
I asked my Dad once, "How did you and Mum stay married for 33 years?" He said. "Well, we never wanted to get divorced at the same time.
I'm superstitious. Before I start a movie, I always kill a hobo with a hammer.
I made a pact with myself that I'd rather have less money than be embarrassed.
I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.
We feel it's unacceptable to be fat, when it has nothing to do with who the person actually is.
Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends.
Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think, 'God, you're so great!' And then you think, 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course, it's for money and status.
I try to take care of my hair because it sort of has to withstand a lot of blowdrying and ironing.
I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties.
I was having such a hard time when I made Sylvia. I gave everything I had for that role. It's one or two or three things I'm most proud of in terms of my work. But it was very dark.
Cameron Diaz is probably my biggest beauty mentor of my friends. She knows how to do her own hair and makeup; she's really good at it.
In Britain, they have a lot of laws to protect you, and we enforce them very strongly so that our children can stay private figures, and the British press leave us alone, which is great. It means we can go on the Tube into the centre of London because it's quicker and more fun for the kids. We can do normal things.
