Sometimes when you walk onto a set, there are very clear delineations. The crew don't talk to the actors and I hate all that. Everyone is the same to me and I always treat everyone in the same way.

I'm not Irish. Just because I have red hair doesn't mean I'm a lucky charm, you know?

My first car was in 2006 when I got on my first TV show - a BMW 328i2 four-door sedan in slate grey. That was a great day, that was.

All I do is watch TV and films, and when I'm not doing that, I'm making them. I need a hobby!

You know I hate watching myself on TV, I know a lot of actors say that, but it's true for me.

It's a blessing to be paid to be in paradise. The Hawaiian people are so friendly.

I'm quadracontinental. I've got a life in London, New York, L.A. and Hawaii.

I'm incredibly cheesy. I'm all about happy endings and all of that.

I do accents. Sometimes when I've had a few drinks, I speak in different accents all night long, and then at the end of an evening someone will say to me, 'Seriously, where are you from?'

I never did any sports at school. It wasn't until I moved to America, to New York, when I was about 20 that I actually thought that if I wanted to be an actress I might have to start working out.

Actors who say they don't watch TV are stupid. I was raised by TV! And it's how I research for auditions.

There's nothing in life you can't accomplish, it's yours to have to be accomplished!

Protecting people from the truth is another way of shutting them out.

Contemporary art is an epoch of false money allied with false culture.

The concentration in my book on Marie Antoinette's childhood and on her family influences. It is surprising how some books actually start with her arrival in France!

I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.

Perhaps this is an age when men think bravely of the human spirit; for surely they have a strange lust to lay it bare.

It's very certain that North Korea is developing nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. They don't need nuclear weapons to defend their own country.

He [the cat] wound himself around her legs, purring the purr of ardent desire like a kettle coming to a boil and then bubbling very fast.

We, Jesus' followers, are the agents assigned to carry out God's will on earth. Too easily we expect God to do something for us when instead God wants to do it through us.

When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!
