  • “It's sort of banned from our home, ... But when he's not around, we play it in the car.”
  • “I would still travel for a shoot, but it involves a lot more logistics. The hours are so hard and long. That's why I think one movie a year would be plenty, and I could be at home the rest of the time. Gone are the days of doing back-to-back movies. That will never happen again. At least not until they're all in college.”
  • “I feel I came to the film as a different person,”
  • “I'm totally a daddy's girl.”

  • “He is a sweetie.”
  • “(Last year), I just had a baby and thought, 'I don't want to live there.' Bush's anti-environment, pro-war policies are a (disgrace).”

  • “It's a very beautiful piece that explores mental illness and complications between people, ... But it's a very uplifting kind of triumphant story in the end ? It's not a somber piece at all.'”

  • “There's a group I've been close to, since childhood. We spend a lot of time together.'”
  • “I don't understand what people's fascination is with our relationship. If we're in the same city, we go out... Sometimes when I'm in L.A., I stay at Ben Affleck's house. But it's not what people think. We're not together, I swear on my life.”
  • “I had an absolutely, extraordinarily unpleasant evening last night trying to get there, ... I had all kinds of plane problems . . . but I was very, very sorry not to be [there]. It was going to be the highlight of my summer.”
  • “Oh my gosh. That's terrible. I had no idea. I've known her since I was a little girl. That's really awful.”

  • “I used to be super-trusting. But in my position, that doesn't get you very far these days.”

  • “I think women who have breastfed understand what I'm saying, that if you get a boob job, it's more reconstructive surgery, actually, than cosmetic surgery. ... I'm sure when the time comes, I'll be in there doing something.”
  • “I learned my lesson at 24,”
  • “It conjured such a lovely picture for me - you know, apples are so sweet and they're wholesome and it's biblical - and I just thought it sounded so lovely and clean.”
  • “I don't really understand the concept of having a career, or what agents mean when they say they're building one for you. I just do things I think will be interesting and that have integrity. I hate those tacky, pointless, big, fluffy, unimportant movies.”

  • “When she's older, I'll send her to Spain so she learns to speak Spanish fluently. I look at my friends' children in Europe and everybody speaks multiple languages.

  • “She's so clever and very, very funny,”
  • “It would be easier on them now had they not talked to the press about each other to begin with. I learned my lesson at 24,”
  • “When they're photographed with their kids, they're never posing or using the kids as props. Some celebrity mums seem to grab their children and carry them like handbags whenever there's a camera around - and you can tell. But their focus is on the baby, not who's watching.”
  • “Everyone else thinks it must be the most safe, most advanced and most covetable pushchair on the market.”
  • “I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.”

  • “I was pregnant when I did the first shot of Proof, and I started to show by the end. It was very important to me to take some time to be with myself and my family and take it easy and enjoy being pregnant. When I had my daughter, I just fell in love with her, so then I was reticent about leaving her as a tiny baby and going back to work.”
