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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I always felt that anorexia was the form of breakdown most readily available to adolescent girls.

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.

My life has not been predictable. I never would have imagined I'd be living where I'm living, doing what I'm doing or married to an American guy. I'm interested to see what will happen next!

Obviously I've had great experiences with people I've worked with on films - I've married half of them! I should come with a warning sign that says, 'Don't worry, I'm not going to try to marry you. I'm done.'

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

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.

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.

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

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.
