	Decker said that she battles with fast food cravings just like the rest of us.
	"I have such a sweet tooth that I can't let myself indulge because work is where I spend most of my time. Imagine the best junk food you've ever seen - that's what sets are like. So when I'm at work, no bad food!," she said.

	"That word can be very extreme. But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality, and that we have a way to go and it's something that's pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept. But I'm happily married. I love my husband," she said.

	"I get good vibes from people all the time, and I probably could get along with them and be their friend, but now I just don't trust anybody. Literally, my phone never rings. I only have ...

Filmmaker Danny Boyle has joked that all his movies have the same storyline about a man overcoming the impossible.
	The 56-year-old knows that all his projects bear striking resemblances to each other because they feature similar themes about memory and a main character who always overcomes a seemingly impossible task, reported Contactmusic.
	"All the films I've made are the same film, I have to admit that. They're all about a character - usually a bloke - who faces insurmountable odds and overcomes them. If you think about it, 'Slumdog Millionaire', the guy in '127 Hours', they're the same film. Don't tell anyone!," he said.
	While memories feature heavily in 'Slumdog' and '127 Hours', Boyle insists 'Trance' takes on a slightly different approach.
	"The last three films I've done have all been about memories. In 'Slumdog Millionaire', memory was a good fortune to Dev Patel. In '127 Hours', where he cuts his arm off, memories save him. This is more about how memories can wreak havoc ..
