There are people who've said that I'm being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption... With all due respect, I humbly dissent. I am not being brave, I'm a decent human being... Love is a human experience, not a political statement

When do I feel my best? When I haven't looked in a mirror for days, and I'm doing things that make me happy.

Weddings are important because they celebrate life and possibility.

I really don't drink, I don't do drugs. I feel like right now I've been given so many opportunities I don't want to mess it up with those things.

I'm not attempting to be a role model but I accept that roles I've played put me in that position. I don't feel a huge responsibility as an actress to put my young fan base first.

I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be Catwoman.

I would have played street cop number three if it meant getting to work with Chris Nolan.
