~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
Apparently, I get facials and manicures all the time. I read this and think, 'Oh, I wish I did that!' I don't think I've had a facial since I was 19. When I shave my legs, I use my child's shampoo and a razor - if I can find one. If I did everything they said I did, I would never see Lily.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
We never fought. We got along so well and it's interesting because we have such different personalities.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
It still amazes me that people actually watching me with a gun didn't just burst out laughing. I can't even play ping-pong, but it turns out I'm good with weapons. I've got enormous hands, like a transsexual, and that's probably why.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
To bear children is the ultimate in femininity; it's beautiful. And if having kids is going to affect my career, then fine, let it. I don't really care. Because if that's what being a star is all about, I don't want it.

I look at how Keira Knightley is coiffed when she attends events. I remember going to Cannes with Much Ado About Nothing (1993) when I was 18, and nobody told me, 'Oh, here's a make-up artist or, 'This person wants to dress you, what clothes are you wearing?' It just wasn't like that when I started. Nobody even told me I could bring a friend! I just sort of showed up in a very expensive pair of trousers I bought in Harvey Nichols, and something I bought in the Sock Shop at the airport. But Keira Knightley has like full hair and make- up and a proper outfit and I think, 'Wow, she's not going to have the before photos I had to endure!' She's really lucky.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
If I get a script that's set in the jungle it goes to the bottom of the pile because I don't think the playgrounds are going to be very good there! I'm really aware of how lucky I am but I have the kind of job where I can bring my child to work.

I think, at 19, I was very grown-up in certain ways and extremely not so in others. If I had come on to a movie set at that age and someone had said, 'You're a bit funny-looking, can you go on a diet?' - I might have jumped off a building. I just didn't have the confidence to put that into perspective at the time.
~ Kate Beckinsale Quote
People are controlled to varying degrees but it will still make people think - for example Chris actually says to Marian: 'I've seen you walk down the street, you are allowed out' - so to all intents and purposes she's free. But Bernie has brain-washed her to believe her only purpose in life is to serve him.

I've always been so inspired by Gena, especially her performance in A Woman Under the Influence . So I was so excited to find out she was also in [ The Skeleton Key ], and then when John came on board, I was like, 'This is going to be wonderful and I'm going to learn so much.' But then you have this fear -- they've been doing this a long time, you don't know what their methods are and how they're going to be.

I'm looking forward to knowing how to drive because I get those anxiety dreams where I'm suddenly in control of a car on the freeway. I'm assuming those will go once I know how to drive. I drove a golf cart on holiday and did quite admirably with that. That's a start.
