I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.

I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!

I don't want to be about the way I look - my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.

I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.

When I go home, everyone's very proud. I get recognized the most when I go back to my hometown, but it's in a really sweet way. They're just very proud and supportive.

I've never understood people that sleep around. I think there's something very lacking in your life when you do, not to be judgmental.

I have this attitude to life that is not to take anything too seriously and not worry about anything, and when I met him I wasn't too nervous and I was being myself.

My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.

I was quite naughty at school.

I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.

I love strange things; my favorite movies are weird, eclectic, and intriguing.

Nothing makes us so beautiful as our smiles.

I now view life as a complex and unpredictable affair that cannot be mastered. It can be embraced. It can be negotiated more or less skillfully. But mastered? Not a chance.

Life is short unless agony is long.

Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.

Only the element of chance is needed to make war a gamble, and that element is never absent.

But in the UK, I've given up any hope of being considered a director.

Women in America... cannot trust Mitt Romney to protect our health.

I wasn't inspired so much by a person as by reading many good books. I loved to write and I wondered if I might be able to write material that others would enjoy reading.

My last meal on Earth, I would love it to be a bowl of blueberries with cold cream.

I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
