I thought 'Out of Africa' would be a beautiful ballet.

Being an actress hasn't made me insecure. I was insecure long before I declared I was an actress.

I'm like the luckiest girl in the world. I've gotten to be a princess, I've gotten to work with the Muppets. A lot of my childhood dreams about who I wanted to be when I was a grown-up, I at least get to play them in movies.

I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.

You know, I love traveling and I love being exposed to different cultures, but really it's the people that I've met along the way, not the places I've been, that have opened my eyes.

The illusion of perfection is an illusion anyway.

Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since.
