When I first read the script for 'A Little Chaos,' I just loved reading it, as it is a really lovely, accessible, contemporary period film.
I have moments when I'll stare at a script and say, 'I don't know what I'm doing!' But then I push myself into that feeling because I think panic is important.
I think that between 27 and 37 was a really big learning decade.
I think it's very important to teach your children to struggle on some level.
I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I've got a lovely husband and children, and I didn't lose weight to find those things.
Weirdly, when I'm playing an English person, I feel like I've got nothing to hang on to, and it feels a bit strange and exposing.
Winning the Oscar was like winning all the prizes in one single night that I never won as a kid.
To back away from fear is the worst thing you can do. Fear shows.
I get up extremely early in the morning.
I have always been, and shall continue to be, honest when it comes to bodyweight issues.
I had a terrible bout of acne after I turned 30.

I hate people thinking I'm some pretentious fraud.
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.
