I love fashion from the 1930s and '40s - shoulder pads, high waists, things with structure. That is classy for me. Andrea Riseborough from the Madonna movie 'W.E.' had an amazing wardrobe.

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.

Our church has been legal since late 1960s. I've been involved since 1972. I was ordained in 1975.

Maybe your path is completely different from what you imagined.

You have to trust your instincts. There is a moment when an actor has it, and he knows it.

The only solution is love.

The hard left is a very small section of the British population and I myself am not hard left. I am a traditional Labour left-winger.

Hypotheses are only the pieces of scaffolding which are erected round a building during the course of construction, and which are taken away as soon as the edifice is completed.

We must never be discouraged or give way to anxiety. . . but ever have recourse to the adorable Heart of Jesus.

Technology empowers the less empowered. If there is a strong force that bring a change in the lives of those on the margins it is technology. It serves as a leveler and a springboard.

Live life and write about life. Of the making of many books there is indeed no end, but there are more than enough books about books.
