I don't have very much interest in trends and fashions. I don't follow the fashion shows and stuff like that into my real life. But I'm very, very interested in how people put themselves together, how women and men announce themselves to the world, through what they put on their bodies. Whether we choose Birkenstocks or whether we choose Burberry - it all signifies something and it's really interesting to me.

I get nervous the more time I have to think about something so I deliberately don't give myself too much time between jobs. I take a big break and then I start working again usually.

I do honestly think that if women were running the world there would be more investment in peace, because basically as women we do not want to see our children killed. Maybe I am completely idealistic, but until we see women in equal positions of power in the world, I just think that we are doomed.

If everybody that had two cars had a Prius instead of an SUV, we wouldn't be in the Middle East right now.

I have four to five months, tops!, per year to give to my acting work.

I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.

It's amazing what you can get if you quietly, clearly and authoritatively demand it.
