“I'm a terrible cook. I am not allowed to go in the kitchen anymore after I almost burned down the apartment in New York.”
“After Zorro, people spoke Spanish to me for ages. I'm Welsh but that movie instantly gave me a new ethnicity.”
“We recently had an extension built, to house a closet. It's like the Tardis - I go in there and never come out.”
“I don't have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don't need anyone to motivate me. I love exercise, even things like the elliptical and stretching.”
“I love 'The War Of The Roses,' especially as my husband is in it! I've often said to him it would be great to remake that with me and him in it, because then we could really get down to some serious business.”
“I'm quite a broad girl, not at all delicate. I watch what I eat to stay in shape, but I'm against diets. I eat when I'm hungry, three meals a day.”
“The smartest thing I did was to stop going online. I'm the sort of person who will just look for the negative - Michael really can't understand it, but that's just the way I am. And with my bipolar thing, that's poison. So I just stopped. Cold turkey. And it's so liberating.”
“When you are 20, 40 looks really old. When I was nearing 30, that seemed like a major milestone.”
“I allow myself to not feel the need to be some sort of wonder woman. You can't do everything at once and tear your hair out when you miss your baby using a potty for the first time, although my son was obviously very sad that his mum was not there on his big day.”
“For marriage to be a success, every woman and every man should have her and his own bathroom. The end.”
“I may be the first actress to admit that beauty doesn't hold you back. I think beauty is a gift that you have to make the most of. I've worked hard at trying to look my best.”
“I'm obsessed with hula-hooping. I do it for 20 minutes a day. I don't use the old-fashioned hollow plastic kind we had when we were kids, but I discovered a new one at Danskin that's smaller and weighted.”
“Motherhood to me is something that I always wanted, but never quite knew how it was going to happen.”
“I try and stay positive; being negative isn't good for my personality. I don't just bring myself down, I bring everyone around me down. It's like a dark cloud, 'Uh oh, here we go,' and have to snap out of it.”
“I do think I'm lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen.”
“I was really hyperactive as a kid and no one knew how or where I got all this energy.”
“I have siblings. And there are certain things I know that I can push their buttons. And they know they have certain things where they can push mine.”
“If I'm going to leave my family for any length of time, it had better be for a role that I haven't played before, with great people. It had better be fun.”
“Being glamorous is about strength and confidence. It's black and white - dramatic. You have to be strong.”
“I eat like a horse - my mother still brings me Cadbury's chocolate from Britain; I do have a very healthy appetite - but I work out.”
