You have to list all your special skills on a form when you get an agent. There's fencing, stage combat, horse riding, motorbike riding, Spanish, French, German, whatever. I just ticked everything. I talk about 10 languages according to that form. I even ticked the extreme sports box.

I never had the chutzpah to just come to L.A. and make it. I didn't have that confidence. I'm always surprised when I get a job.

Family is 100 per cent my top priority.

I don't like junk food, just because I don't like the taste of it, but I don't go to the gym - ever.

Unlike typical romantic comedies, Definitely Maybe is not formulaic or predictable and it spans a decade while being set against a political background. Also, the audience doesn't know who ends up with who until the very end, which makes it a sort of "romantic mystery comedy".

The most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me is starting a family. That's as romantic as it gets.

I love the power women have. I think women rule the world because they rule men. Manipulating men - that's our job. That's what we're on the planet for.
