Beauty to me is being comfortable in your own skin.
The adrenaline of a live performance is unlike anything in film or theater. I can see why it's so addictive.
I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do.
If we were living in ancient Rome or Greece, I would be considered sickly and unattractive. The times dictate that thin is better for some strange reason, which I think is foolish.
I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They're my weakness.
I'll take my wrinkles. I don't like the Botox thing.
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.
Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends.
Luckily, my children love broccoli, and although we sometimes enter into UN-like negotiations about how many 'trees' they need to eat before they can partake of ice cream, it is a vegetable that they tend to embrace.
I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties.
I love getting cookbooks - people will give them to me, and I read them like novels and file everything away.
There have been countless times where I've worked out with my kids crawling around all over the place. You just make it work.
When you're so out there in the public eye, people are constantly criticizing every aspect about you.
I don't eat four-legged animals, but I eat birds, I eat cheese, I eat dessert. I eat everything.
I'll immediately gain, like, 5 pounds even just by thinking about cutting out dessert. It's a nightmare. I decided, for me, the healthiest thing was to eat what I want and just exercise. Some women can watch what they eat, but I just can't do that.
I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.
Beauty fades! I just turned 29, so I probably don't have that many good years left in me.
When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat.
I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.
When I venture out to eat, I like to go to places with food that I don't know how to make. So my favorites are Japanese and Indian. Indian food has so much layering of flavor, and the dishes go together so harmoniously.
