I had an absolutely, extraordinarily unpleasant evening last night trying to get there, ... I had all kinds of plane problems . . . but I was very, very sorry not to be [there]. It was going to be the highlight of my summer.

In the theater, you go from point A to point Z, building your performance as the evening progresses. You have to relinquish that control on a film.

Everything I wanted to achieve, I achieved, ... I'm not one of those people who keeps raising the bar.

People have become inappropriate. People have pushed too far. People have climbed one too many fences. I'm just tired of it.

It's great exploring a new area and it's less posh and more real, which my husband really appreciates, ... A lot of our friends live there, too, so I'm seeing a whole other side to London that I didn't know.

I don't really understand the concept of having a career, or what agents mean when they say they're building one for you. I just do things I think will be interesting and that have integrity. I hate those tacky, pointless, big, fluffy, unimportant movies.
