I feel as though my life is bathed in golden sunlight. And the really,wonderful thing is that I know it.
People are not considerate of others. They tend not to consider,themselves as all living together, but see themselves only as,individuals.
What really matters to me is what my peers think.
The benefits of feminism for someone like my husband are fantastic. He,can stay at home with the kids, he can take them to a park, he does the,school run.
What I find most interesting about acting is transforming myself.
America is such a nation of suppressed emotion, and when you arrive in,L. A.
I can sleep anywhere! I can come off stage during the interval of a,play, lie down for four minutes then wake up feeling better.
Every time, at any point of my life, I think now is always the best age,to be.
I was a real art freak when I was a teenager.
My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to,change enormously in order to become a parent.
To be honest, my husband and my children are my best friends.
Working in films, there are hundreds of odd moments.
I really love my food. My favorite thing is artichokes. I am not so much,interested in desserts or chocolate, though. I also like to cook with,my husband Damian.
The only time I ever spend alone is when I am working or when my husband,is away filming. I put the kids to bed and have an hour and a half in,the evening for myself.
I use my awards as doorstops. Others are in the office or in little,cubbyholes in our library - they go between the books, because they,actually look like arty pieces.
She realized then a fantasist had been born.
What interests me about life most is people, and the why of the world.
