I love the energy and the knowledge. I barely know how to use this thing [mobile phone]. I get by.

What you want, as an actor, is a great leader. I can't bear it when I work with a director who is wishy-washy and says, "What did you think?"

It's always nerve-racking to take off your clothes on film. But doing it with a woman felt safer than with a man. You know you can say, 'Don't grab me there: That's where my cellulite is'!

Whatever is said about roles drying up, I intend to keep working. Certainly now the roles couldn't be more interesting - playing mothers, divorcees. I think it's going to be exciting to play a mother of teenagers. The longer your life, the deeper it gets.

There's a set of rules out there somewhere that says it all ends by 40. I hope to be able to defy that because I truly love my work.

Sometimes they come to you and it's a small role, so it's about the experience and the journey and mixing with people you know you will learn from. Or sometimes it's a scene in a movie that you think, 'I just have to play this person.'

I love being outside with trees and water, lying down somewhere or walking. I do transcendental meditation, which keeps me calm and steady.
