I Was Reading Poetry To My Girlfriends,

I Had To Wear A Fat Suit To Play Mma Ramotswe In 'the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.' She's Described As Being Like A Small Elephant, But She Loves Her Body And Size. When We Were Filming In Africa, It Was 110f. It Was Torturous. I Drank A Lot Of Water And Ate Cucumbers All The Time, And Underneath The Fat Suit I Shed Pounds - I Couldn't Help It.

When I Auditioned With Anthony Minghella (the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency), I Loved The Audition Process, Although I Hated Him For It. Because He Had Me Audition Six Times For That Role. Maybe Three Hours Each. He Wanted To See How Quickly I Could Vary.

The Video For 'whatever' Is Kind Of A Documentary In A Way. It's Showing That Love Can Last. Not Just In Your Early 20s Or Your Late 30s, But In Your 50s, 60s And 70s. There's An Awful Myth Out There That When You Get Married, Love And Lovemaking Fade. It's Not True.

My Son, Jett, Is Two, And When I Was Pregnant My Nose Got Bigger, So I Got A New One. Everything Was Bigger For A While After Having Jet, But I Knew I Needed To Be Able To Walk Up My Stairs Without Being Winded. It Took Me Two Years To Lose 60 Lbs - Lots Of Walking, Bike-riding, Kick-boxing And Performing.

Being On Set Is A Hard Thing. A Lot Of People Are Like, Oh, You Get To Make A Movie, And It's All Fun. But The Reality Is, It's A Lot Of Hours. It's A Lot Of Reshoots; It's A Lot Of Waiting. And You Can Become Increasingly Agitated By The Amount Of Time That You Are Waiting. But That's Real.
