# | Quote |
---|
1 | I keep getting these extraordinary letters, really weird ones from American sports stars - I've always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you're single I want to meet you for a drink. |
2 | The only meal I have is dinner. |
3 | The day of the press statement has gone. |
4 | We all need to relax more, but I don't find it easy. |
5 | When I started doing movies, every crew member was older than me. |
6 | I love Pilates and yoga but don't do them regularly. |
7 | I'm not that careful with cars. |
8 | I was completely loyal and faithful to Stephen throughout this time as, indeed, he assured me he was to me. |
9 | I'm very attracted to Indians. |
10 | I've always been obsessed by beef jerky. |
11 | I feel like a semi-single mum. |
12 | I love moving. I love new houses. I'm always looking for somewhere else. |
13 | I like people to match my energy. |
14 | I have always been attracted to Australians and Australia. |
15 | I don't know much about only children. I was the middle one of three, and if ever I was alone with mum and dad, it was a rare moment. |
16 | I always found when I was reading an interview with an actor that I wasn't interested in their political opinions - I just wanted to know what they'd had for breakfast. |
17 | I am a terrible mixture of being organized, controlling, but chaotic. My desk is monstrous. |
18 | You know, you want to be a success. You want people to know who you are. |
19 | I walk every day with my dogs and force myself to run a bit but I hate it. |
20 | Divorce is, of course, difficult for a child. I didn't go through it as my parents stayed together, but I have a lot of friends who did. |
21 | I don't want someone to watch sports in bed. That drives me nuts. |
22 | In America uniformed cops eat in coffee shops, diners and restaurants and I always feel safer having them around. |
23 | It took me six years to be comfortable modeling a swimsuit. |
24 | It's definitely part of my job description not to be too fat. |
25 | You know, I've virtually never been chatted up in my life, it's true. |
26 | I'm pretty nice. I'm far from an ax murderer. I've never been mean to anyone in my life. |
27 | Being English, I always laugh at anything to do with the lavatory or bottoms. |
28 | I didn't have a cup of coffee until I was 27. |
29 | I would seriously question whether anybody is really foolish enough to really say what they mean. Sometimes I think that civilization as we know it would kind of break down if we all were completely honest. |
30 | I do like my life very much, yes. |
31 | I'm manic about my schedule. |
32 | Getting as much sleep as possible and following a healthy diet will stop you from feeling run-down if, like me, you're super-stressed. |
33 | I always wear make-up as I've never seen the point of looking less than your best. |
34 | I'm not going to launch a bikini business and then give up bikinis, am I? |
35 | I've always wanted to be a spy, and frankly I'm a little surprised that British intelligence has never approached me. |
36 | It's very hard to get the dynamics where two people can stimulate each other and be happy. |
37 | I think, if you were being cruel to animals, then the thought of eating them would be horrific. |
38 | Nothing irritates me more than chronic laziness in others. Mind you, it's only mental sloth I object to. Physical sloth can be heavenly. |
39 | Spending time outdoors makes you feel great. |
40 | I love to see other women in pink. It's good for every shade of skin and hair. |
41 | [ on Charles, the Prince of Wales] I've always been a big fan. I've always thought he was the best -dressed man in the United Kingdom, possibly the world. His tailoring is amazing. |
42 | I haven't been able to look at a chainsaw since Scarface (1983). |
43 | I like to eat delicious food and laugh a lot. I can put up with most things in life, as long a someone is making me laugh. |
44 | If Hugh and I split up, I would feel as if my brother had died. |
45 | A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for you and is good for your skin. -- "Marie Claire" magazine, November 2000 |
46 | I'd kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe. |
