Apart from The Holiday, I haven't really spent a huge amount of time in LA. Not that I avoid it, it's just that I don't often go there unless I'm doing press. The one thing I have discovered about LA with kids is that it's really great for children. They really like the sun and making sand castles.

I find it very difficult to wear nice, pretty shoes. I'm much more comfortable in boots or Birkenstocks or loafers.

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

I don't believe in sort of holding back, you know, life isn't a dress rehearsal!

I'm not a period babe. Not at all.
