When I was a little girl, I used to walk around with a towel on my head, pretending I was a nun. And then one day my mother said, 'Why don't you just become an actress, and then you can pretend you're a nun.'

I would love to spend more time in Britain one day. In my heart, I still feel that I'm English, and when I think of home, I think of England.

I used to say that my own father was dead, because he might as well have been. He was in Argentina and didn't play a part in my life. He and my mother divorced when I was only two.

In a perfect world, I only act when I really want to. I don't do most of the stuff that is out there, but it's a joy and a pleasure to do anything that promotes this higher power - this light, if you will. I just think there aren't enough projects in the world that do that.

I'm not for gay marriage, but I'm not for discriminating against people.

Marriage is a good deal like a circus: there is not as much in it as is represented in the advertising.

The romance stuff is easy. A sex scene... that's hard, because you don't know what to do. Those scenes are awkward.

I'm married, I have three children, I never hit my wife.
