There's something magical about a woman who feels comfortable in her own skin.

I'm horrified of lobsters. And shrimp and lobsters are the cockroaches of the ocean.

I go to Saint Barth in the French West Indies for two weeks each year. That place is amazing. Amazing people, beautiful beaches, great wine, wonderful harbors... It's incredibly romantic.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing, but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.
