If you carve out what you expect, that's how you end up getting disappointed, not living fully in the present.

For me when I was growing up, some of the happiest times were when we went to a small island called Nantucket off Massachusetts.

I think that the process of figuring out what kind of leader I wanted to be was challenging, because as an actor, you work alone, really.

It's so much easier to sit home and not exercise and criticize other people. What I love is inspiring people. People come up to me and say, 'I want to have two kids and wear a bathing suit and not feel terrible about myself. I see how hard you work and it makes me feel like I can do that too.'

My golden time is after I drop the kids off at school. I'm usually working on my website (lifestyle site Goop) and checking emails but I try to do something at least once a week - like a facial or a visit to the osteopath - something to bring myself back into my body.

When I venture out to eat, I like to go to places with food that I don't know how to make. So my favorites are Japanese and Indian. Indian food has so much layering of flavor, and the dishes go together so harmoniously.

I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.

Just to have my kids be in the sun every day-picking avocados, going for a swim, she says. Even for two years or something, and come back when they go to senior school. Just what kids want to do, pick avocados. Also: senior school?

Much the way I want to know if my food is farm-raised, or wild, or if my orange juice is fresh or from concentrate. I also believe I have the right, and we as Americans all have the right to know what's in our food.

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.

My perfect plan is to do one movie every nine months.

During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well.

My playground was the theatre. I'd sit and watch my mother pretend for a living. As a young girl, that's pretty seductive.

I was so bad with the food and alcohol in Nashville. If you saw me naked compared to what I looked like when I did Iron Man 2, when I was exercising every day - I'll get it back together, but I've never eaten so much fried food and white flour in my life, ever.

I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, 'No, you've got it all wrong!' I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing.

By 40, all women are amazing.

It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.

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.
