My favorite breakfast probably in the whole wide world, real treaty favorite breakfast, is eggs benedict.
I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.
Glamour to me is about remaining graceful and understated.
I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.
When you're 21, you think, 'Oh God, when I'm 36, oh God, that's nearly 40 and I'll look really old and wrinkly by then.' And actually, I quite like the way I look.
My job as the actress playing Hanna Schmitz, as the actress playing any part, is to understand the character, and to ultimately love the character. And I did love Hanna, absolutely, because I understood her as profoundly as I did at the end of the day.
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.
My husband and I met in a house fire, basically.
I like to do my own make-up.
I am insecure. If you ask me, everybody is.
Weirdly, when I'm playing an English person, I feel like I've got nothing to hang on to, and it feels a bit strange and exposing.
Experiencing those moments of being alone... is a very, very weird flooring and exposing position to be in when you're just not used to it... But I've never been lonely. And with my kids Mia and Joe that remains the case.
I won't allow magazines in the house. When I was younger, I wanted to have my hair cut like so-and-so in the class above me at school, not somebody in a magazine. You see young girls trying to dress like so-and-so because they've seen lots of pictures of them.
My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads. My children live with me; that is it.
I do endless chopping and preparing things. I really find that relaxing. I do a lot of thinking as I am chopping and cooking.
As a woman, especially when you have children, one gets so good at soldiering on - almost too good.
Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.
Thank God I'm in touch with my emotions enough to be able to pick up my children, kiss them all over and say 'I love you' over and over.
Awards season is always a huge amount of fun whether you're a part of it or not. It's always really exciting seeing what films are coming and a lot of new talent as well.
I think of myself as a mum who finds the time to go to work. I have to check myself for baby sick before I walk out of the house in the morning. I am really a mum... I know I am a great mother.
You have to forgive me because I have a habit of not winning things.
I don't read magazine articles that I've been in.
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!
I've had a very full and lovely career so far, and I can't honestly say that I've ever really found myself in a man's world, struggling for an identity or trying to prove something.
The good and bad things are what form us as people... change makes us grow.
'Revolutionary Road' is a fascinating study of the human condition of a fragmenting marriage and the torment that these two people put themselves through in their efforts to try and find happiness and try and stay together, actually.
Marriage has made me safer.
None of this 'different diets' lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad.
Who doesn't love to be surprised?
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.
I don't read any reviews, so I'm oblivious to what they have to say. I'm completely unaware. It's fantastic.
I never saw 'Titanic' as a springboard for bigger films or bigger pay cheques. I knew it could have been that, but I knew it would have destroyed me.
I don't know why I'm suddenly playing nasty people. It is very fun, though, and it isn't real, at the end of the day.
It's often assumed that British actors read Shakespeare and sonnets as we're going to bed at night and we're all very familiar with it.
The experience of making a movie is far removed from watching the end result. It's exciting, but it still makes me squirm.
I have moments when I'll stare at a script and say, 'I don't know what I'm doing!' But then I push myself into that feeling because I think panic is important.
