I'm not very good with stills. I get all twitchy.

Location work has its charms, and can seem glamorous on the outside, but I think living at home and having the stability of a home life once you've finished work is very underrated!

What am I doing in this silly showbiz life? I do wonder that sometimes.

I'll always take Scrabble and chess if I'm going filming. But I do have the Scrabble dictionary, which can be infuriating for other players.

I like being in love, but loving is what is crucial to me. Loving is the reason to live.

I like working on stage because there's something very immediate about it, that interaction with an audience where you immediately hear their reaction, or feel them, whether they're with you.

I've always been a strong feminist and felt that the image of models was detrimental to women. That whole thing really bothered me. I would think about quitting about once a week.

I had a happier experience of the city as an actress than I had had as a model.

My parents were political, so it's definitely in my bones. Wherever I am, I always seem to get involved with politics. I think, once it's in your bloodstream, it's always there. I love it.

You can't ignore the system and the power you acquire as an actor if you're in films that are successful.

I do get funny people sometimes coming up to me in supermarkets in America with my picture in their pocket, which is a bit strange.

Do your little bit of good where you are

If, in New York, you arrive late for an appointment, say, "I took a taxi".

The collective unconscious contains the whole spiritual heritage of mankind's evolution born anew in the brain structure of every individual.

If you can run six miles on a summer day, then you, my friend, are a lethal weapon in the animal kingdom.

If you try to win, you might lose, but if you don't try to win, you lose for sure!

In business be as able as you can, but do not be cunning; cunning is the dark sanctuary of incapacity.

The black man in America is the same as the Jews were in bondage under Pharaoh. We are strangers in a land that is not ours. We are rejected by this type of modern Pharaoh or pharohnic society.

Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'

I was involved in some peaceful protests.

People don't know my real self, and they're not about to find out.
