I'd always wanted to act, but it was a question of whether acting wanted me and whether the movies wanted me.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

I loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.

People say, "Why is it that you love to act?" And you want to say, "Well, most of acting is sitting in your trailer, either bored or worried about the scene coming up." A lot of it is about things you don't really like, so it's a wonder why acting is such a huge draw, why everyone loves it so much.

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.
