Quotes

""People say that chivalry is dead, I don't think that it's dead, I think it's just got the 'flu!"

(commenting on the nudity and sex in 'In the Cut') "You don't go, 'Wow! I get to do a nude scene.' But I love the sex scene in this movie. It was scary, honest and raw. But people could find my body very unattractive. There could be a backlash against it."

The best thing about modern living is anaesthesia. Definitely.

"Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them. I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue."
