‘I take my happiness very seriously.<br />
It’s the thing we’re all searching for.<br />
If you’re happy, you always strive<br />
to refine and renew that state.<br />
It’s a constant pursuit’<br />
And in yourself<br />
“My sense of humour. I’m very honest. I speak very plainly.<br />
Either you love it or you don’t.”<br />
Who has been the greatest influence on you<br />
“My husband. He’s simply remarkable.”<br />
Name your biggest indulgence…<br />
“Time off. I know a lot of people can’t take time off and<br />
can’t even imagine it. When I have a day off, I spend it<br />
with my kids or my husband.”<br />
What is the last movie you loved<br />
“The Grand Budapest Hotel – it’s great.”<br />
You just starred in US TV film The Normal Heart, made by<br />
your Eat Pray Love director Ryan Murphy. Do you like to<br />
build long-standing working relationships with directors<br />
“I really do and I realise I have been quite blessed in that<br />
way because I’ve worked with several directors more than<br />
once. And more than once is not enough for me. It’s nice<br />
to build relationships with your directors because they<br />
understand how far they can push you or how far you’re<br />
willing to go. You feel comfortable knowing they’ll reel<br />
you back in if you take the character to a place that gets<br />
bad or ugly.”<br />
Is there anything you dream of doing besides acting<br />
“Not unless they reinstate home economics in school.”<br />
What, if anything, would you still like to achieve in<br />
your career<br />
“I hope to do everything again, but better.”<br />
