I have always wanted my children's dads to be involved in their lives. Not just the day-to-day aspect, but the emotional shifts that they go through, when little things pop up - they need to be included, absolutely, and for the children to feel that they are.
If I'm going to change, my life and experiences should change me for the wiser and more profound.
Ah... romance to me is spontaneity. It's not diamond earrings; it's a bunch of daffodils that's freshly picked from the field.
I think confidence does come with time, and I've been really surprised by that, actually.
It makes me sound like a domestic freak, but I care very much about my kids' nutrition.
With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean.
I was always quite good with accents - I always had quite a good ear - so from the age of about 13, I used to do a lot of voiceover and dubbing for foreign films.
I do like being busy. I'm not the kind of person who just sits around and goes to a spa when I'm not working.
Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.
I'll eat one cookie, not a whole box of cookies. But I'll still eat the one cookie... sometimes two, or even three. But not the whole box.
I think heartbreak is something that you learn to live with as opposed to learn to forget.
When I was doing 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' I was asked, 'If there was one part of your life that you could erase, what would it be?' And I was so stunned by that. I thought: 'Nothing.' I would keep all the good bits and the bad bits, because those things made me who I am.
You have to forgive me because I have a habit of not winning things.
There were nineteen years between my grandparents, and I was in a relationship for five years from the age of fifteen to twenty with a man who was thirteen years older than me who remains one of the loves of my life, and he passed away when I was twenty years old.
