I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best.

I would never accept a role that wasn't going to stretch me or challenge me in some way. I'd say Holy Smoke! probably did that more than anything I'd ever done. It took me to places I didn't actually know I could go to, and that's what I want my career to be all about.

Life is short, and it is here to be lived.

I'm a normal human being. I don't have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That's a good thing, isn't it?

I'm incredibly proud to have been nominated in the past and it really means a lot to me because I do work very hard when I'm making a film and I do really do absolutely give my all. To get that kind of pat on the back, it's really amazing and also never something that I anticipated would possibly happen to me, ever. So I am very, very proud to have been there before. And, you know, the nice thing about nominations is that, same as awards, no one can actually take them away from you and I'm proud of that.

I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given.

Youre supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for Gods sake!
