I'm going to get up every morning at 6:30 to work out. Then when I've kept with it all week I give myself something I really want like a new handbag or a piece of jewelry I'm coveting.

You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.

If I'm working on a film I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like 100 in the morning or something.

It's very important to write things down instantly or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.

I was a very undisciplined person but acting was something that actually motivated me to get up in the morning. I hadn't experienced that before but it was something that really excited me. I think I could be quite self-conscious and it gave me a release.

It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint considering that one may not wake up the following morning.

The thing with me is if I wake up one morning and I'm not happy working as an actress I'll stop. It's not something I have to do. It's not a vocation.

Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You'd wake up in the morning and you'd have no idea what your day was going to be. And that's something I've never been able to shake. I loved that.

I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write I prefer to write in the morning until midday and in the afternoon I eat.

The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.

My personality when tasked with creating meals goes something like this: Is there a way we can make this more difficult? Because let's do that. I don't mean to complicate things. It's just - why buy pre-packaged potato salad when you can spend your morning boiling potatoes and flipping out because there's no dill in the house?

I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up and I make it short because like you I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.

But when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn't know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing but I knew I could work hard at it and so I did.

I can't tell you enough about cinnamon. Cinnamon is an awesome spice to use and it goes great with something like apples in the morning or in a mixture of fruit or in your oatmeal or even in your cereal.

I've been keeping a diary for thirty-three years and write in it every morning. Most of it's just whining but every so often there'll be something I can use later: a joke a description a quote. It's an invaluable aid when it comes to winning arguments. 'That's not what you said on February 3 1996 ' I'll say to someone.

I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning catch myself in the bathroom mirror and go 'hey girl you're alright'. But on the other hand I find the website stuff and the polls something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.

Fashion should be something that in the morning when you open your window you say 'Oh fantastic sun!' Then you take your shower you say 'OK fantastic which colour I wear today because I feel happy?' This should be fashion.

I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.

To be intimate with a married man when my own father cheated on my mother is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.

Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.

Each morning sees some task begun each evening sees it close Something attempted something done has earned a night's repose.

I used to get my money at the end of the week buy my mum something or buy a record and that was it.

I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.

I had no idea that I would ever get involved with something like lending money to poor people given the circumstances in which I was working in Bangladesh.
