For me, working out is nothing to do with looks. It's to let it all out - the stress, the self-consciousness - you think less; it makes you more centred.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

I have my own style and don't really follow fashion, but I like leggings. They're easy to wear and can go with anything.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.

I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.

In Life There are No Limits, Only Plateaus.

I have been flooded with color on the inside, drab on the outside.

I would never have discovered alcohol.

I can't take any more white boys noodling around on their guitars.

You cannot have development in today's world without partnering with the private sector.

I'm a woman for all seasons. I mix 'n' match, do designer and high street - keep all my good pieces. I design all my evening and cocktail dresses most of the time as I dislike what is out there.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Good leaders must become what they want their followers to become.

I chose the trombone because the trombone players in the marching band got to be up front with the majorettes (because of the slides) and I loved that!
