I love firing guns. It's an amazing feeling - so sexy and powerful.

I am often lost in my own world, with a frown on my face.

From a very young age, stories fuelled my imagination in the most wonderful way.

The art of conversation consist as much in listening politely, as in talking agreeably.

I think it's always easier to play parts that you have something concrete that you can relate to.

I read a lot of heavy literature when I'm on set, so on holiday I want to indulge in something light-hearted.

Because I trained in theater, I always leave a film shoot feeling like I haven't done anything, like I just sat in front of the camera and whispered, essentially.

I'd love to do an action movie. Something with lots of stunts. Anything fast and dangerous and involving guns.

I can't imagine it if beauty was the only currency I used as an actress. It just doesn't interest me.

I don't think I'm curvaceous. It's simply that most other actresses are really, stupidly tiny.

I'm deeply ambitious and I always have been.

Please don't obsess on the number of friends i have or don't have. I'll find my own way, it will be right for me.

All the quips in the world couldn’t prevent Oscar Wilde from becoming a lovesick fool.

A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.

I always knew I would be successful. So there was no element of surprise.

In the past it never occurred to me that every casual remark of mine would be snatched up and recorded. Otherwise I would have crept further into my shell.

Believe it or not, perhaps I don't show it much, or well, but I think I like people.

There's a side of me that identifies with Aileen Wuornos.

[When making movies I] set out to be authentic to [myself] and to put it down the way [I] feel it and know it and interpret it. And then others sometimes key into it and get it.

There are no limits - I endeavor to make clothes that didn't exist before.

Lest when I am gone you may be at a loss for an epitaph for me, let me give you one - He Fed Fevers.
