I've had that experience of not liking people very much, but having tremendous respect for them.

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.

Families living in dysfunction seldom have healthy boundaries. Dysfunctional families have trouble knowing where they stop and others begin.

Be like God. He is the mighty being that dwells in you.

Necessity is the constant scourge of the lower classes, ennui of the higher ones.

Send me one hundred francs on our future deals, otherwise I will disappear in a cataclysm.

I don't have a problem removing people from around me. They could be around for a long time, and I could get comfortable or used to them, and then I can just get rid of them.

I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.

Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.

My voice has gotten better from smoking.

I will lay out my plan for the United Kingdom, which I hope can provide unity and change.

Everything we look upon is blest.
