Actress

Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think, 'God, you're so great!' And then you think, 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course, it's for money and status.

I'll take my wrinkles. I don't like the Botox thing.

During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well.

The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get.

I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extra-marital affairs.

It's a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.

I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom.

I don't eat red meat, but sometimes a man needs a steak.

I'm an artist, and the need to get inside myself and be creative and be other people is a part of who I am. I don't imagine I'll abandon that completely.

Creating a meal for my friends and family, sitting together, eating, laughing and talking - that is when I am so happy. Oh my God, if you could see how much food I make - I am the original Jewish mother.

There have been countless times where I've worked out with my kids crawling around all over the place. You just make it work.

I understand what it feels like not to like aspects of yourself. There have been times that I have felt really terrible about the way I look. I have the seed of that feeling.

Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first.

Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.

The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.

My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem.

In Britain, they have a lot of laws to protect you, and we enforce them very strongly so that our children can stay private figures, and the British press leave us alone, which is great. It means we can go on the Tube into the centre of London because it's quicker and more fun for the kids. We can do normal things.

I really like where Tony Robbins says that we're all hypnotized to see beauty this one specific way, and it's true.

I love getting cookbooks - people will give them to me, and I read them like novels and file everything away.

I feel my dad, I still feel his love, and I still love him. I would do anything to have him back, but half the reason that my life is good, has real, true value, is that he died. I would obviously rather have him alive, but he gave me so much in his death.
