I grew up in a small, strictly Catholic fishing village – the people there have a different attitude to life than those in Hollywood – people stick together.
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 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 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 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.
