I love learning new things that will never be put to practical use.

I lived in Norway and Texas when I was a kid.

I don't carry a wallet. I keep my cards in my pocket and cash in my boots.

I'd like to direct myself but I'm a cinephile and I also would like to just step behind the camera and be on the other end of making movies.

We don't have enough support for maternal leave and the kinds of things that some of the European countries do. So we still make it hard on women to go into the work force and feel that they can be good at work but then doing the most important job, which is raising your children in a responsible and positive way.

For me, acting is not a hobby. It is a career that I have chosen and was not willing to let go of so easily after seven years of hard work.

The success my children have had has helped me immensely. I've showed them a certain respect for this career.

I have been hugely proud in terms of what I have achieved, in terms of over 60 caps, and I have captained my country on a few occasions which has been a huge honour and something I have been really proud of in my career.
