I would love to play an unexpected character. Really raw and simple and not a cliche - something rugged. People like to put actors in boxes.

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.

A woman will always remain as princess as long as she keeps her childhood innocence and goodwill

Taking a dump...blackout

An old codger rampant and still learning.

Because my great-grandparents were enslaved people, the legacy of slavery was something that didn't seem impersonal or disconnected. That's what motivated me to get into law.

The death penalty would be even more effective, as a deterrent, if we executed a few innocent people more often.

Right from the very beginning, I knew I wanted to write palpably Scottish fiction.

What is written is more influential than what is said.

I'm 31 years old and can't complain about the money I make and the smiles I can create on people's faces.

My greatest fear is speaking in public. You meet, like, um, people who just concentrate on me. I'd rather not have everyone focus on me.

If you don't have enough time to accomplish something, consider the work finished once it's begun.
