I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.

I'm surprised there aren't more celebrities in burkhas.

Apparently, I'm very good at firing a gun without blinking, which is unusual. That's why so many action characters have to wear sunglasses during shoot-out scenes. That's my party trick.

I think actors always like to think they don't bring the character home, and then their family all laugh and tell you otherwise.

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

I must say, I am thrilled with my fan base. For some reason some of them are quite young, so they are quite frightened.

I can't tell you how many times I've gone to present at the Golden Globes, come home, whipped the dress off and read to my daughter wearing gazillion-dollar earrings. That's how it goes in my house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's wonderful to have the most important thing in the world there first thing in the morning. And especially in this business, where the opportunity to think everything is about you is there every day, now I really know that it isn't all about me.

What's considered ideal in Hollywood is completely different than anywhere else in the world. I don't think you can aspire to it, nor can I. Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed. I could look at a picture of myself from the past and think, 'Why don't I look like that now?' It's because I never have!

I have a husband who literally worships me. And cleans the house. And blow-dries my daughter's hair.

My daughter comes with me everywhere. I don't leave her behind. But it is hard. I mean, I think any working mother will tell you that what kind of falls by the wayside, you know, are the hours of sleep that you wish you had, and all that. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed, but I do sometimes feel like that exorcist lady!

Someone once said that you can make the choice between getting old and getting creepy, and I think getting old is the way to go.

I still feel like the person who shouldn't be doing this and everyone is acting around me as if I'm a badass all the time. And this still feels like a stretch. I realize this is something that is incredible. I get to do this and I get wonderful teachers to help me and it's amazing.

It is very different. I mean, it was immediately different because it's a human being and it's not a vampire and it's not fighting monsters. This isn't the kind of movie that's got the comic book style of fighting to it. It was a bit more gritty.

If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humor.

I don't have a big career plan. I just like to see how things come out, and I just try to keep going in different directions.

I'm attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it's a journey that is much more interesting.

Were I not married to the director, I'm not sure I'd know anything about the 'Underworld' sequel.

When [Len Wiseman and I] first met, I was a huge fan of the 'Alien' movies. I was a huge 'Die Hard' fan until it ate my husband for two years. We sit and watch movies all the time. One of my favorite movies is 'Dog's Day Afternoon.' Len loves that movie.

People should realize women aren't just whores or virgins, I want to see women who are real human beings.

I remember when I did 'Click' and I'd see Adam Sandler's fan base. He's the guy that people feel that he's their best friend, so he's walking down the street and people sort of high five him and want to tell him a joke or invite him to come home and have a sandwich with them.
