So far I'm not surprised by anything about being a mom. It's all pretty great - but that's what I expected.
I am a relationship girl. That's kind of just how I'm made... When you're in my life, it's actually very contained.
I feel 100% sure that I have the career that I have today because of independent filmmaking.
I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.
I've always been very aware of balance and, even before I had a child, my life always takes priority to my work.
Modeling was never a passion of mine.
I treat my relationships like marriages. The ceremony isn't that important to me.
I'm always open to a relationship, but I'm not putting those feelers out there now.
I have OCD, which is not fun. I have to be incredibly tidy and organized or it messes with my mind and switches off on me.
I was going to go to Macchu Picchu and then I just ended up working the whole year.
I've always known I wanted a family.
If I knew that 3D was going to be such a big deal, I would have gotten that boob job 10 years ago.
I think substitution is a huge part of acting, but I don't personalise my work that much.
You can never get to a place of comfort in this business. As soon as you hit that little cushy spot, somebody's gonna kick you out. So I have a constant need to do it better.
Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.
You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.
When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.
They really stay just characters to me. I look at them, and I don't see always the same person up there. And hopefully, people will see that too. Because it's very easy to bore people, and that's a killer. So hopefully that won't happen.
So I did that for a long time in my career, and I waited for parts to play myself just physically down a little bit. But I do feel like I'm at a place in my career now where I don't necessarily fret about that too much anymore.
So how critics will perceive your film or your work, or whether your movie is going to make $100 million at the box office, or whether you are going to be winning any awards - well, you have no control over that.
