Kate Beckinsale

I'm attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it's a journey that is much more interesting.

Job-wise, I did have a moment of panic that I should have been a doctor a few years ago, but I hate when people vomit.

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.

I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.

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.
