I would love to do a really cool romantic comedy, perhaps with Hugh Grant. I think he is brilliant. That's the kind of film I love to go to see. I love 'girls' films.

I don't want to be famous. I like to be able to sit in a cafe and watch the world go by and observe people.

If you were to do a line-up of past suitors, it's definitely a very eclectic group, is all I'll say.

I couldn't care less about walking down the red carpet in a pair of heels and a posh frock. I'd rather be in my pyjamas at home.

I'm half-Welsh, half-Russian. My maternal grandmother is Russian. I've very much a mongrel, which is good in a way because it makes me quite a blank canvas.

The culture of celebrity has become insane. It's all based on fantasy, and I find it creepy and disturbing.

I don't want to be known for anything other than the fact that I play characters in movies.

I've chosen not to talk about my really private life to the press - I've never invited a huge amount of attention.

I'm really a strong advocate of ageing because the messages that the media and advertising give to women infuriate me: ie that it's a bad thing to get old.

I've spent a lot of time in L.A. and I love it. A lot of Brits can't stand the place, but I like the West Coast attitude and the way people celebrate success.

Genius without wisdom is like a plane without wings

We have at any rate one advantage over Time and Space. We think them whereas it is extremely doubtful whether they think us!

I am what I am. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that.

We see things not as they are, but as we are. Our perception is shaped by our precious experiences.

For me feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It's very unglamorous.

Yes, the European model remains superior to that of America and Japan.

Panic leads to carelessness, and carelessness creates accidents.

Attention without feeling is only a report.

As an investor I cannot tell that. We cannot predict the success or failure.
