I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

Like everybody I have many different sides.

Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

What I get in rock 'n' roll that I don't get in movies is that connection with people. With music it's instantaneous, and just to watch people light up, it's really amazing. I love that connection.

Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

Rock'n'roll to me is a rebellion against the sterile pedestal culture of movies.

When it's just a few scenes and a couple of actors behaving in a room, I feel very confident with that.

The photoshoot glitz and TV studio make-up isn't the real me. I spend most days at home in Bristol in jeans and a T-shirt running around after the kids or shopping in the Co-op.

I think it's dangerous to get into ideas of planning careers.

When I'm playing a part, I can feel all my body playing it; it's like really making love.

Television can take anything. It can take the most exaggerated of storytelling forms.

I tell you what. 85 percent of the sportswriters think I'm stupid or a clown or something. They think I'm crazy.

This civilization is rapidly passing away, however. Let us rejoice or else lament the fact as much as everyone of us likes; but do not let us shut our eyes to it.

Everybody that's successful lays a blueprint out.

No matter how close thought sticks to the actual, it follows its own rules.

Personality is a mask you believe in.
