I was on Stealing Beauty in 1996 and then I started feeling acting was something I wanted to do forever. It made me feel like I'll still be looking for parts when I'm 70 years old.

I've been spending this last month trying to find four outfits to wear to the different premieres of The Two Towers. It's hard work.

Solitude has its own very strange beauty to it.

We put so much pressure on ourselves as parents to be able to do everything, but children are very grateful and understanding. I always find that quality time, even if you just get a little bit, really has a deep impact. But you also need them to know that they can make mistakes, and if they do make a mistake it's OK for them to tell you and that they'll get a second chance.

There's no cream that can fix you if you're not beautiful on the inside.

To me, the coolest are the terminally uncool.
