Quote

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I would quite like to play a big concert as Freddie Mercury. I cant sing that great and I havent yet found a use for the over large size of my teeth. I quite fancy a mustache like that and he was such a great showman.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm a fan of action movies.

No one is more enslaved than a slave who doesn't think they're enslaved.

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!

People keep asking me about it but I don't want to be famous for being a former anorexic.

The secret to everything for me is doing yoga every day. It does do nice things for your body, but it also kind of calms you down and chills you out. Other than that, I don't really drink alcohol and I always take my makeup off at night!

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!
