Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high.

All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it - singleton - which was the worst possible thing.

Bridget Jones has a lot to answer for.

Working together was a bit of a disaster. I'd tell him his ideas were cr*p and he'd say the same about mine.

I get really upset seeing my friends who are mums crying because they feel like they're not good enough. Clever, confident, kind young women all going, 'I'm ruining my child's life.'

It takes time and energy, and if I'm working, then I'd rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it.

My dad always said, 'Don't worry what people think, because you can't change it.'

If I were to say you are crazy, what part of that would you find unacceptable?

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder how I do these things. I can embarrass myself so badly that I literally get a hot prickle down the back of my neck.

Domestic goddesses have infiltrated everybody's lives and raised the bar way too high.

Knowing what I know of love, I hang back because I don't like to lie to myself.

People say to me, 'You're so lucky. You get to see the world.' But I don't. I go to the hotel and to the pools and back again. That's it.

The fact that over 50 per cent of the residents of Toronto are not from Canada, that is always a good thing, creatively, and for food especially. That is easily a city's biggest strength, and it is Toronto's unique strength.

Your mind can't always tell the difference between pretend and reality if you pretend too long; or if you go too deep and really believe in what you're doing.

The Earth has been lawned with life for something over 3.5 billion years. That's a span of time great enough to encompass some honest-to-goodness catastrophe. For example, 700 million years ago, Earth underwent a planet-wide deep freeze, with ice covering the oceans from the poles to the equator.

If you think the ocean isn't important, imagine Earth without it. Mars comes to mind. No ocean, no life support system.

Nobody can live your dreams for you. Be determined to make it a reality.

I love the energy of an independent film set. No one is there for the money. Everyone is there 'cause they really want to be there. It makes all the difference in the world. It's without ego and agenda, other than just wanting to fulfill a creative dream.

Many a true word is spoken in jest

Do the impossible, see the invisible.

There's a lot of Democrats, myself included, who have supported right-to-life.

Creativity is the answer. I always prefer the creative solution to an expensive solution.

Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it.

Prison is essentially a shortage of space made up for by a surplus of time; to an inmate, both are palpable.

Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.

No 11-year-old girl wants to be 5-10. I always felt big and unattractive.

He said this has the potential to be the first broadband killer application, and it has sort of become the truth because obviously it's so bandwidth intensive. I mean, it has been an issue.

But since I'm single, it's nice to get a kiss where I can.

Make all you can save all you can give all you can.

I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.

With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life.

You can put the greatest seafood restaurant next to an average steak house in an urban area, and that steak house will do more business than the seafood place. If you go to the water, you can put an average seafood place next to the greatest steak house, and people are going to eat seafood.
