I missed my dog, my friends and my house. But it didn't last long. I had too much fun throwing myself into the character.” [on Bridget Jones role] "Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money." “I'm a regular at the gym, but not because I want to buy a bikini--it's because it's really good for my head. It has always been a big part of my life. It's like my dumpster. I go to the gym, I dump it off and I resume my life.” |
