I feel very strongly that 'curves' are natural, womanly and real.

I want to keep my health and my sanity and be well and feel happy. Plus, I want to have fun.

God, my brain really goes to mush when I'm pregnant.

You have to forgive me because I have a habit of not winning things.

When I first read the script for 'A Little Chaos,' I just loved reading it, as it is a really lovely, accessible, contemporary period film.

Whenever I go to L.A., the make-up artist or hairdresser will end up having a conversation about how fat they think they are, and I really just can't take it seriously at all.

There's a lot of judgement that can come from outside sometimes, and there's media scrutiny that is placed on a lot of women in the public eye, and I just couldn't care less. I really couldn't care less.

I'm really happy in my own skin.

My life has taken me down several different paths I never expected it to take me down. Not in a million years.

I do like being busy. I'm not the kind of person who just sits around and goes to a spa when I'm not working.

I've decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that.

I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.

Real luxury is having the time to read endless stories in bed with my children. And I get that all the time. I'm so blessed.

I think I can see more clearly now - about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped who I am and the characters I have played - and I'm grateful for that.

I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I've got a lovely husband and children, and I didn't lose weight to find those things.

Ah, my dad's whistle. On holidays when I was a kid, we would all be off in the rock pools along the beach. When it came time to go, we'd hear the whistle and we'd all come running. Like dogs!

It's true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but you know I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks.

I've decided I am going to start loving my backside because I don't know anyone who does that. And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, 'I love this.'

So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it, moving on.

I wouldn't dream of working on something that didn't make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode.

Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.

There's more to life than cheek bones.

What I've learned about acting is that it needs to be mysterious. If you overthink how a beat needs to be played, it can trip you up.

Mothers who work full time - they're the real heroes.

I want to end up like Judi Dench. I want to have nice consistent work, doing lovely things, no matter how big or small they might be. I'd like to turn into a wise old thing.

Ah... romance to me is spontaneity. It's not diamond earrings; it's a bunch of daffodils that's freshly picked from the field.

Life is short, and it is here to be lived.

I do have impossibly high standards.

Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated.

I burp, I fart. I'm a real woman.

A lot of the girls were awful, very catty. It was a competitive environment that I didn't like. You have no idea of the anorexia I saw around me.
