I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible because it was inconceivable you could be attractive as well as be smart. It wasn’t until I started being myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people that I started to get any work.
I don’t know, ‘Zorro’ was just so great for me because, knowing where I came from, everyone spoke Spanish to me, like, forever after that. And I’m, like, from Wales.
I was like any new bride, who said, ‘I’m going to cook for my man.’ In fact, once I started a small kitchen fire in a pan. Smoke was pouring from the pan, and I got really scared. Right next to our stove is a small fire extinguisher. You know, easy access.
I like ‘Zorro.’ I like people you can believe that don’t have those stupid powers. That is the beauty of Zorro. He’s just a guy working for the people, to save the people.
I’m intimidated every day I go on the stage and everyday I go on a movie set. It’s terrifying and I always want to reshoot the first day or the first week, I’m so terrified
I love ‘The War Of The Roses,’ especially as my husband is in it! I’ve often said to him it would be great to remake that with me and him in it, because then we could really get down to some serious business.
I hated grunge. No one’s more feminist than me, but you don’t have to look as if you don’t give a – you know. You can be smart, bright, and attractive aesthetically to others – and to yourself.
There are people who expect me to look the way I do on-screen, where I have a great director of photography and fantastic lighting. I’m sorry to disappoint people, but I don’t look like that all the time – no actress does.
