I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.

These days you have the option of staying home blogging in your underwear and not having your words mangled. I think I like the direction things are headed.

I always wear the same thing at home. I can't be bothered with jewelry. My pants have elastic waists. I like to be comfortable. There are so many more important things to worry about.

All things on earth point home in old October sailors to sea travellers to walls and fences hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds the lover to the love he has forsaken.

Producing is so exciting because you can enable things to happen whether it's like discovering a filmmaker who you're taking a chance on protecting a battle and driving home at the end of the day just going 'I'm so glad I stayed late at work and fought hard for that. Had my passion. Won that battle.'

By the time you get dressed drive out there play 18 holes and come home you've blown seven hours. There are better things you can do with your time.

Things aren't right. If a burglar breaks into your home and you shoot him he can sue you. For what restraint of trade?

I like making things. I have a wood shop at home. I am a terrible carpenter but I love doing it.

There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
