Sometimes, I think I could have been a major movie star with the vast mansion and staff. I look at my Volvo and think it could be a limousine. I think of the roles I turned down. But then I wouldn't have had any children.

Seeing The English Patient is wonderfully draining, but imagine acting in it for six months.

I was very lost as a teenager. Which is a horrible way to feel.

I think people do work too much. I've never been able to understand the whole 'make hay while the sun shines' thing. Either I want to work or I don't want to work.

My body is a baby machine.

Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.

I'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.
