- On keeping the details of her divorces private: "No one really knows what has happened in my life. No one really knows why my first marriage didn't last; no one knows why my second didn't. And I'm proud of those silences."
- On her past marriages: "I know lots of people who are not in the public eye who have gone through several marriages, I really do, and it's just those are the cards that life dealt me. I didn't plan on its being that way. And f*ck me, it hasn't been easy, you know."
- On her husband, Ned Rocknroll: "Thank God for Ned — really. He's just so incredibly supportive, and he's so much fun. He's absolutely everything to me. And to all of us."
- On dealing with tabloid attention: "No one teaches you, and also no one particularly helps you. It's a very specific thing to ask people to understand. 'So-and-so was mean about me in the newspaper.' 'Oh, just ignore it.' But you can't, because it's not true."
- On preferring not to be referred to as a movie star: "I've always been so uncomfortable with that. I just don't feel like one, and I don't live like one either — not the way I imagine a proper movie star living."
- On why she keeps her Oscar in the bathroom: "The whole point is for everybody to pick it up and go, 'I'd like to thank my son and my dad' — and you can always tell when someone has, because they're in there a little bit longer after they flushed. They'll come out looking slightly pink-cheeked. It's hysterical."
- On body image: "We all focus on our bodies in our late teens and our early 20s, in a way that is just not cool or healthy. In your 30s, you become aware of staying fit. Now I view my physical self as an instrument that I have to keep going because I'm a mother, and I have to be as healthy as I can for those three people who need me — more than I need for myself to be in a f*cking nude scene."
