Answer: I think that we've all been through these relationships before. That's just life. It's the journey of love, and this lifetime is to try to figure out how to make love work.

And who doesn't have problems? The great thing about love is that it's imperfect, and people spend a lot of time on it. What would we do if relationships were perfect? What would we do with our time?

Question: Advice for the lovelorn?

Answer: I think you just get through it. Having your heart broken is never fun. But you've got to get over it at some point, right? It just gets back to knowing yourself, being connected to yourself and happy with yourself. It always has to start there first.

It's really awesome growing up in a very narcissistic society! (laughs) Because we've finally figured out that it's all about us.

All the time they're like, "It's not about you." But really, it is. I encourage you to figure it out within yourself.

Question: Are marriage and kids in the cards for you?

Answer: I think everybody wants, at some point, to have that responsibility and be involved in that. But not at the moment; it's too much. Yeah, it's that commitment thing. I don't even want a dog. My cat just died; I don't even want a cat!

Oh, I just opened a frickin' can of worms.

Question: So, um, sort of afraid to ask now, but how did you get along with the two little girls in "The Holiday"?

Answer: Smacked 'em around. It always works. I'm just kidding. Why do I think that's so funny? I don't know. It's clearly not a thing you should joke about in print: "She doesn't want kids, she smacks around the ones she works with, and she doesn't even want a dog." No, those girls were so sweet. It was a lot of fun.

Question: One last thing: How did you like driving in England?

Answer: The great thing about that was that the streets were shut down. Locked off. Nobody could get on the streets that didn't know that I was behind the wheel. But it's crazy, driving on the wrong side of the road. I can barely walk properly in England. Every time you step off of the curb, a sign says Look Right. But you always only see that after you've looked left first.
