I try to do things where I'm going to feel challenged in some way. I only really do one movie a year.

I like to dry brush which is really detoxifying for the skin. Exercise is also really important for me for balance and to get those endorphins going.

If I'm lucky, I can do a facial once a month.

I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.

I've always been very independent. Even in relationships, I'm focused on the quality of my life and not enmeshing myself so much with somebody else's experience. But I think there's incredible value in being married.

I think my favourite thing is understanding the responsibility of raising two human beings and putting them into the world.

"Just to have my kids be in the sun every day-picking avocados, going for a swim," she says. "Even for two years or something, and come back when they go to senior school." Just what kids want to do, pick avocados. Also: senior school?
