My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me.

We’ve got a wood-burning pizza oven in the garden – a luxury, I know, but it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made.

I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it’s still a fantastic, amazing place.

Could I use some butter and cheese and eggs in my cooking without going down some kind of hippie shame spiral? Yes. Of course I could.

I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extra-marital affairs.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same...

Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first.

Sometimes when things you love get really commercial, you end up feeling betrayed by it.

In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.

I’m an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don’t imagine I’ll abandon that completely.

The simpler things are, the happier they are.

I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.

Invest in what’s real. Clean as you go. Drink while you cook. Make it fun. It doesn’t have to be complicated. It will be what it will be.

I just had a baby. I’m not going to work unless it’s something really special and meaningful, because I can’t imagine missing all that time with my daughter.

I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.

I love being. There’s so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn’t it great just being?

I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I’m prepping for...

It changed me more than anything else. You don’t want to get to that place where you’re the adult and you’re palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that.

I don’t eat red meat, but sometimes a man needs a steak.

I never thought that I’d be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom.

The best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends.

If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish.

After I had the kids, I took a break from work, and all my creativity went into my kitchen. I like experimenting.

When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat.

As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England.

Women were real box office stars in the ’40s, more so than men. People loved to see women’s films. I think it was better then, except for the studio system.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it’s so addictive.

I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It matters what you think of yourself and what your children think. So if anyone is going to ask my advice, I’d say, do what is right for...

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....

I love to cook and feed people. I cook every day.
