I don't know why people are so down on the Best Western. They have the best sweet potato fries I've ever had.

The thinnest I've ever been was after I had my appendix out, during the London run of The Seagull. I went down to 112 pounds and realized my brain doesn't work when I'm that thin, so I can't do my job. That's why, when I came out here, I never had that whole Hollywood pressure thing.

I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.

I remember in 'Pride and Prejudice' I had to do a scene where I broke down. And before we filmed I spent like three hours imagining my mum's funeral. Actually, she's very much alive, happy and healthy. It was really horrible.

I'm more the sort of person who doesn't like hugging strangers because we don't know each other, so we shouldn't.

I always try to slip healthy things by my kids. I give them sweet potato French fries and fake chicken nuggets.
