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 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.

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 very grateful that I have one of those faces that seems to blend back into the crowd. A lot of people pay lip service to wanting a normal life, but it's actually very important to me.

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 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'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.

When you open your heart, only then will the light come in.

Life is a weird place, what gonna happen next? No one knows it and nothing is guaranteed.

Miriam is upset. Her voice is stretched and I can't look at her. Perhaps they beat something out of her she didn't get back.

I walked all those miles, I learned all those lessons. It's as if my new life was the gift I got at the end of a long struggle.

You can be invincible, if you enter into no contest in which it is not in your power to conquer.

I don't do much cooking, but one of my favorite dishes to eat is my wife's macaroni and cheese.

A competitive athlete is painful to look at; trying hard to become an animal rather than a man, he will never be as fast as a cheetah or as strong as an ox.

We do not say that a man who takes no interest in public affairs is a man who minds his own business. We say he has no business being here at all.

This is exactly why the Electoral College is set up the way it is, so that one state would not elect the president.

Well, everybody's a drummer, I'll tell you that right now. Everybody knows what's right rhythmically for a song, so there were always suggestions flying my way.
