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.

When I think about somebody like Keira Knightley, whom I don't particularly know, I see somebody who is working hard, really trying to challenge herself and make smart choices in spite of people criticising her size and performances.

I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.

A good eye cream is really important when you are traveling, busy and stressed-that's when the dark puffy circles can get you.

If being crazy means living life as if it matters, then I don't mind being completely insane.

Femininity for me means happiness and freedom...freedom of being who you are in whatever shape or size you come in.

es, I spend a lot of time in Reading because we live in Oxfordshire and so we're always just in and out of each other's houses. It's very much the family that it always has been. But there's no comparison with Hollywood as such.
