I think any form of self-expression is half confidence, half sheer hard work and, maybe, a bit of talent thrown in.
I burp, I fart. I'm a real woman.
Before 'Titanic,' yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it's just a bit daft for me.
I don't read any reviews, so I'm oblivious to what they have to say. I'm completely unaware. It's fantastic.
I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.
I don't know... part of, I suppose, my way out of everything, has been really taking care of myself. I think that comes from an awareness that my children really need me, and they need me to be the healthiest version of myself that I can possibly be.
Part of Breast Cancer Care's work is to make sure everyone in the UK is breast aware throughout their adult lives,
I just hope for the best, hope I'm going to find a dress that is comfortable and shoes that don't make me scream after half an hour.
As an adult and a parent, when I'm not acting, I'm not acting. I'm being a parent, and I'm on the school run, and I'm sewing labels onto socks. That's what I'm doing.
On the whole, the politics of moviemaking is something that actors are kind of blissfully ignorant of.
I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a relatively slow reader.
There's always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.
I have always been, and shall continue to be, honest when it comes to bodyweight issues.
Let me tell you, 'The Reader' was not glamorous for me in terms of the body-hair maintenance.
