My life has not been predictable. I never would have imagined I'd be living where I'm living, doing what I'm doing or married to an American guy. I'm interested to see what will happen next!

I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything.

I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring.

The view from the mountaintop is reserved for the uncommon man.

It's incredibly unfair. You don't see a lot of 60-year-old women with 20-year-old men onscreen.

The second I tell myself I have to do something, I'm sure to do the opposite.
