Gwyneth Paltrow

I don't know who decided that skinny was more appealing than not skinny. It seems arbitrary.

I put on the fat suit and went outside and walked around. I was really nervous about being found out, but nobody would even make eye contact with me. It really upset me.

I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor.

The Jewish part of me is superstitious.

There's something that sort of weirds me out about actors who want to be rock stars, and the other way around too.

We feel it's unacceptable to be fat, when it has nothing to do with who the person actually is.

Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends.

Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.

I feel my dad, I still feel his love, and I still love him. I would do anything to have him back, but half the reason that my life is good, has real, true value, is that he died. I would obviously rather have him alive, but he gave me so much in his death.

Luckily, my children love broccoli, and although we sometimes enter into UN-like negotiations about how many 'trees' they need to eat before they can partake of ice cream, it is a vegetable that they tend to embrace.

I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.

I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties.
