On relationships:

“It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same.” - talking about the split with Brad Pitt.

 “Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.”

Others:

“I find Sex and the City irreverent and shocking. It's one step beyond how girls really talk. I would do a cameo on that show in a flash.”

“I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is "I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile!"

“I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, "No, you've got it all wrong!" I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing.”
