I think it's incredibly important to spend the first year with your child, and it should be made possible for all women.

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I've always felt is a sign of respect for others.

I'm trying to find a man to share my life with, but it's not been easy. I'm a 35-year-old woman with two small children.

I make napkins talk in restaurants, socks talk on car journeys. There is an awful lot of puppetry going on in the house.

Every role is a challenge.I want to keep doing everything I want to try to do things that aren't similar to one another.

I always chose sophisticated parts because you can't really be interesting as a young girl or outstanding as an ingenue.

At the end of your twenties, you realize you are inherently flawed, and that's great, and that's what makes you dynamic.

I'm in film school, so I really have to sock away my money for school, tuition, and so on, and I really don't have time.

Men hunt I think maybe because they have something wrong with their own equipment and they need something else to shoot.

It's sad to see that something you have done or the decisions that you have made affect your children in a negative way.

I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference God has given me this new chance.

For the past couple of years I was doing the party thing - going out a lot. But now I've turned 25, I feel I'm an adult.

I had a very curly perm in the '80s, thanks to the 'Way You Make Me Feel' Michael Jackson video. I liked the girl in it.

Language is my bugbear. Everyone says things now like 'I was sat' instead of 'I was sitting', which just sounds so ugly.

Our family dinner table was my first platform - every dinner was all about sharing stories and jokes and points of view.

I do have a side of me that would just love to be stuck in the woods and have to stick it out and be really resourceful.

I've got a swimming pool and I pretend to be like a mermaid, like in the middle of the night. It kind of de-stresses me.

I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.

I grew up thinking I had very little value. It's not something I felt I could share with my mom so it was all inside me.

Sean's a better person when he's directing. He becomes a queen when he's an actor. And he's so unhappy when he's acting.

As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.

The basic thing is, people want to get paid, so they'll say the things that get them paid, in entertainment or politics.

If I see a door comin' my way, I'm knockin' it down. And if I can't knock down the door, I'm sliding through the window.

The Divine Impulse - it's always safe to follow it. We've got to trust it and go wherever it takes us. Especially women.

Just in general, no matter what you're doing, be true to yourself. Never let anyone else dictate how you live your life.

He said I was the most sensitive person he had ever seen- that I belonged to the hyper-hyper type and we rarely survive!

I remember being about 14 when I started wearing shorts and heels. I hated the attention I got. I found it overwhelming.

Western Costume, and the old Universal wardrobe that is huge and they're getting rid of so much of it now, which is sad.

My parents always say I have really good legs. I've worked really hard for them. They always insist that I show my legs.

It's very Canadian of me - or maybe it's more the Catholic schoolgirl in me - but I always really want to do a good job.

Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but Jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time.

The emergence of a child opens up this well of love that you just never knew you were able to have. And it's empowering.

What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.

Sorry am I to say, I have often observed that I have performed worst when I most ardently wished to do better than ever.

It's time we stopped worrying about losing our looks and started celebrating the gifts of age: I feel yummier than ever.

If I wear a dress that I bought from a street vendor in Bali on a red carpet, it's a way of bringing my travels with me.

I'm super, super casual. I like boxer shorts or jeans or tank tops, tennis shoes and flip flops. That's about it for me.

There's a value to getting the meal on the table every night, and there's a value to being an old-school kind of parent.

I'm not trying to make myself look like a girl because I'm not a girl anymore. I'm very happy about being a grown woman.

I used to want to pack as much as I could into my life, but now I realize it's more about quality of life than quantity.

I don't thrive on the concept of being naked at every possible moment, but it's not the biggest deal in the world to me.

I’m definitely a girly-girl and I love playing with fashion, but at the same time I will go skydiving with you tomorrow.

When I go outside in the morning for coffee, I'm not going to spend forty-five minutes getting ready. I just don't care.

It is very important for an actor or actress to look around at everything and everyone and never forget about real life.

The biggest myth about aging is that we can't do anything about it. That it's a road to being decrepit, frail, and sick.

I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.

I was quite canny when I was doing 'EastEnders,' so the money went into property. I made sure that I didn't blow it all.

If anything, I would say the movies I've done have been very low paid. TV work and voice-overs have been more lucrative.

I don't care if you're a man, if you're a player: If God sends you that one and your heart is in it, you'll work it out.

I wanted to get everything right. I was super nerdy and academic. I got so much satisfaction out of getting good grades.
