There were reports of me using fat-sucking machines and all sorts of silliness. All I did was walk a lot and breast-feed. I've never been on a strict diet. I just don't overeat, and I don't eat if I'm not hungry.

I've never been onstage in my life.

I've got the best lead man, I really love my lead man.

I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.

People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play.

Being a mother gives you an incredible feeling of empowerment, you think if I can go through such pain and that level of sleep and still operate and not be grumpy you can do anything. It can be quite scary, you can't function your brain, forget your vocabulary.

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.
