I try to meditate every morning. It relaxes me, clears my mind, and sets my day off on the right foot before things get too manic.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.

It was like a big family, since so many of us brought our kids. We all went surfing. It was so relaxed and easy.

Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.

I don't like everybody knowing what I'm doing, unless it's related to a movie. I don't like speaking to the press. I never did.

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
