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

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 horrified of lobsters. And shrimp and lobsters are the cockroaches of the ocean.

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

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.

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