Always argue over text so other people aren't embarrassed!

I find a lot of things kind of funny and I often say what's on my mind, and then get nine texts from all my friends going, 'What's the matter with you?' But I haven't ever made a big attempt to have any particular image. And I don't really worry about it. If it's funny, I don't care.

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.

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.

Feeling attractive didn't come until I was 29... What is it about a woman being in her late 30s that brings out the Oh, my gosh, are you worried? questions? Worried? What about? Thirty-eight, 39, 40, 50! Great! Still alive!

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.

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.

The hover cars were terrifying. I manage to make it even more terrifying by having food poisoning on that day as well. Hover cars you can't get out of very easily or quickly, so that held a whole extra element of risk for me.

When I was pregnant, everyone told me you're going to be one of those women with a little football in front. And then this...thing, this Scooby-Doo monster belly arrived. I gained 65 pounds. Every single part of my body was thicker - even my scalp! But that's the advantage of being young - it went right back.

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 find American behaviour...odd

As an actor, your motives and your own crazy psyche is really all you're responsible for in the movie.

I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in 'Van Helsing.' That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually.

When I first started working, I was very aware of the fact that I'd been to university and studied Russian and French and not acting. So when I started working, I'd started working quite young, I felt like it was important to treat myself kind of like an apprentice and do as many different types of things as I could.

Yes, because it's Len's obsession with practical. I've never really had that experience that I hear people having of being on an empty soundstage painted green talking to a tennis ball on a stick.

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

Theres such a pressure on women that we put on ourselves and everyone else puts on us to look unrealistic and everything, but you just cant compare yourself to people in magazines.

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

I am used to wearing corsets. Even when I was first starting out it was either Shakespeare or Chekov. Everything that I was doing involved corsets. I guess I am just not destined to breathe that deeply.
