Kate Beckinsale really likes what exercise does for her body and mind, but she's the first to admit that it doesn't always come easy. "I start out absolutely dreading it, do an incredibly punishing workout, bitch about it the whole time, and end up feeling 100 percent better when I leave," the 43-year-old says. "Working out is basically nature's antidepressant."

Kate Beckinsale talks to Seth about accidentally getting her daughter in trouble with her obsession with arranging fruit and vegetables into genitals and bullying her co-stars with the habit.

Kate used to call up lawyers to talk about class-action suits in hopes of sounding like a true American.
