Spain Is So Different From The United States. It Seemed To Have A History, And The Buildings Are Years And Years And Years Old. Here In The United States An Old Building Is About 17 (years Old), And Over There It's From 500 B.c., It's Incredible.

I Used To Say To My Dad, 'how Did You And Mom Stay Married For All This Time?' And He'd Say, 'two Things. Number One: You Gotta Have The Same Dreams.

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'm Just Like Any Other Regular Mum; Cooking, Cleaning, Wiping Butts, Picking Up After Kids, Being A Wife And Helping The Kids With Their Homework. Mind You, I'm Terrible At Maths. I Can't Even Do My Six-year-old's Maths Homework With Her.

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 Being. There's So Much Wisdom In It. You Wake Up In The Morning And You Think, Hey, Isn't It Great Just Being?

It's Really Hard To Find Things That Are Worth Leaving Them For. [balancing Work And Motherhood Is] Really Hard. One Night In Nashville, My Son Was Screaming With A Terrible Stomachache.

People Have Become Inappropriate. People Have Pushed Too Far. People Have Climbed One Too Many Fences. I'm Just Tired Of It.

It Really Recalibrated Me At A Very Young Age To Where I Could Be Driven Because I Was Trying To Achieve Things For Myself, And That Had Nothing To Do With What Anybody Else Was Doing.

My Life Is Good Because I Am Not Passive About It. I Invest In What Is Real. Like Real People, To Do Real Things, For The Real Me.

Bring A Raincoat, Definitely ... Or At Least A Little Umbrella That Can Fit In Your Bag, Because It Always Does Rain.

We Do Live In An Unsafe World. That's The Truth. I'm Dealing With That Now, With My Seven-year-old. He's Grappling With The Fact That The World Is Unsafe, And That There Are People Who Do Harmful Things. I Don't Think There's Anything Wrong With Presenting That Idea. We Can't Lie To Our Children And Pretend That The World Is Perfect, And Everybody's Happy, And Everybody's Out There To Do Good. It's Just Part Of A Bigger Conversation.

It Is With Hearts Full Of Sadness That We Have Decided To Separate.

My Actual Beauty Routine Is Pretty Simple, I Try And Have A Facial Once In A While. I'm Not A Huge Products Girl. I Have So Much Going On With Work And Kids, I Just Use Moisturiser Basically.

I Try As Best I Can To Really Put All I Can Into What I'm Doing. A Lot Of Days I Fail And There's Too Much To Do. I Do Think It's Really Important To Have Time To Yourself, Whether That's Reading Something Interesting When The Kids Are In Bed Or Even Having A Dog.

I Think Part Of A Beauty Routine Is How You Feel And Checking In With Your Inner Self, And So I Made That Commitment To Myself To Do That.

Some Days I Feel Like Everyone In My World Has Plugged Themselves Into My Kidneys. I'm So Tired.

Self - Belief Is Everything. Whether You Want To Start A Law Firm Or A Jewelry Business, Women Get Pushback, Societally. People Will Be Like, "this Is A Bad Idea." You Have To Have Enough Self-belief To See Where You're Gonna End Up And Not Let Anybody Derail You.

It Is Finally When You Let Go Of What People Expect You To Be And People's Perceptions Of You That You're Able To Be The Version Of Yourself That You're Supposed To Be - Like In God's Eyes. It Doesn't Matter If You're Half Crazy, Or Eccentric, Or Whatever It Is - That You Have To Be True To Who You Were Born To Be.

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.

No. I Think They're The Idiot People And I'm The Normal Person. But I Don't Really Go To Parties Where...i Don't Really Have Drunk Friends. My Friends Are Kind Of Adult; They Have A Drink. But They Hold Their Liquor. I Think It's Incredibly Embarrassing When People Are Drunk. It Just Looks So Ridiculous. I Find It Very Degrading. I Think, Oh, You're Really Degrading Yourself Right Now, To Be This Pissed Out In Public.

After I Had The Kids, I Took A Break From Work, And All My Creativity Went Into My Kitchen. I Like Experimenting.

I've Borne These Two Kids Into A Particularly Strange Circumstance. They Are Going To Have To Fend Off A Lot And Protect Themselves From A Lot Of Projections And Prejudice About Who They Are, Coming From The Family That They Come From.

I Definitely Don't Read Any Tabloids. You Really Have To Find A Way To Separate The Words Of People You Respect - Stranger Or Not, But Respectful Content, Positive Or Negative - And People Who Are Just In Pain And Projecting Their Own Sh*t Onto You.

I Do Really Believe That Beauty Comes From Within, Mostly How You Feel About Yourself And How You Express Love Of Yourself, But Also In The Form Of Nutrition.

My Playground Was The Theatre. I'd Sit And Watch My Mother Pretend For A Living. As A Young Girl, That's Pretty Seductive.

It's So Much Easier To Sit Home And Not Exercise And Criticize Other People. What I Love Is Inspiring People. People Come Up To Me And Say, 'i Want To Have Two Kids And Wear A Bathing Suit And Not Feel Terrible About Myself. I See How Hard You Work And It Makes Me Feel Like I Can Do That Too.'

The Work Gets More Difficult As You Get Older. You Learn More And You Gather More Experiences, There Is Deeper Pain And Higher Highs.

I Just Look For Interesting Supporting-biggish Supporting Parts, And Try To Do One A Year, And That's My Limit. Some Women Can Do It And That's Fantastic, But I Can't. You Make Choices As A Wife And Mother, Don't You? You Can't Have It All. I Don't Care What It Looks Like.

People Who Are Criticizing... Don't Really Get It, Because If They Did, They Would Like It.

My Golden Time Is After I Drop The Kids Off At School. I'm Usually Working On My Website (lifestyle Site Goop) And Checking Emails But I Try To Do Something At Least Once A Week - Like A Facial Or A Visit To The Osteopath - Something To Bring Myself Back Into My Body.

I'm Having So Much Fun Building My Makeup Business, And It's A Huge Responsibility. It's Not A Side Job. The More It Can Run Without Me, The More I'll Be Able To Go Back To Acting. For Now, I Feel Fulfilled.

When You're So Out There In The Public Eye, People Are Constantly Criticizing Every Aspect About You.

Because I Was Newly Pregnant, I Was Sick As A Dog, Yet I Knew All My Lines From A Year Before.

I Remember When I Was Maybe 27 Years Old And Kind Of At The Height Of My Movie Stardom - It Was Around The Time Of The Oscar And This And That. I Think I Was Very Much Believing My Own Hype, Which How Could You Not? I Was Sitting With My Dad, Feeling Great About My Life And Everything That Was Happening, And He Was Like, "you Know, You're Getting A Little Weird...you're Kind Of An Asshole." And I Was Like, "what The Hell?" I Was Totally Devastated. But It Turned Out To Be Basically The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.

Physically, It Completely Changed Me. I Found Strength That I Never Thought I Had. And Mentally, I Mean, It's Taught Me Just Patience And Letting Go, And It's Really Changed My Whole Psychological Outlook, I Think.

I'm 43 Years Old, And I Know Who I Am, And I Own My Mistakes. They're My Business. And When Somebody Who Doesn't Know Me Has An Opinion, It's None Of My Business.

I'm Always Interested In What's Next Or What Is The New Kind Of Thinking.

When I Was Starting Out, I Would Get Printouts Of What Was Being Written About Me That Week. At First It Was All Good Things, And Then It Started To Turn. I Very Quickly Learned, "this Isn't Good, This Isn't Helping Me." But It Was A Very Important Exercise For Me In Terms Of Really Understanding That One's Sense Of Self Is Internal. I Have Had An Extreme Opportunity To Learn That Lesson, And I Think It's Been Such A Blessed Fortune.

As You Get Older, You Choose Friends Based On Not Only What Feels Resonant And Warm But If They're Bringing Something To Your Life. My Women Friends Are Incredibly Intelligent.
