I've never understood the notion that actors and actresses should look great on-screen just because they're on-screen. That doesn't make sense to me.

Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.

You have to invest if you want to restore balance to the world.

I think that emotion and good stories can cross the times.

That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me.

I think that when you don't see the boundaries, you cross them without even knowing they exist in the first place.

I don't think you learn how to act. You learn how to use your emotions and feelings.

I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given. Children orientate towards examples. That's why I talk solely positive about my body in front of my daughter.

Mum and dad were very much friends, and up to life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up, they just taught me to be me.

I'm often moved by the circumstances around some of my characters, but I don't think I've actually cried watching myself.

I suffered from 'No one will ever fancy me!' syndrome, well into my teens. Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not.

I have just wanted to be an actress. That's always been my goal. I didn't want to be famous.

As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.

There's something really empowering about going, 'Hell, I can do this! I can do this all!' That's the wonderful thing about mothers, you can because you must, and you just DO.
