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

More quotes by Kate Beckinsale
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.

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.
Kate Beckinsale
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.
Kate Beckinsale
I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.
Kate Beckinsale
Were I not married to the director, I'm not sure I'd know anything about the 'Underworld' sequel.
Kate Beckinsale
If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humor.
Kate Beckinsale
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.
Kate Beckinsale
As an actor, your motives and your own crazy psyche is really all you're responsible for in the movie.
Kate Beckinsale
I was a very difficult child, and the time I spent reading was about the only peace I gave my mother.
Kate Beckinsale
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.
Kate Beckinsale
I'm surprised there aren't more celebrities in burkhas.
Kate Beckinsale
I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.
Kate Beckinsale
People keep asking me about it but I don't want to be famous for being a former anorexic.
Kate Beckinsale
I have a husband who literally worships me. And cleans the house. And blow-dries my daughter's hair.
Kate Beckinsale
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.
Kate Beckinsale
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.
Kate Beckinsale
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!
Kate Beckinsale
I find American behaviour...odd
Kate Beckinsale
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.
Kate Beckinsale
I'm a fan of action movies.
