If I ruled the world, every woman would have a Chanel suit in her wardrobe.

The degree of notoriety I have is fine and easy. There's nothing hysterical about it.

From my point of view, it's very refreshing to play a regular human being and not someone from another dimension. When I say "not act," what I mean is just to be as natural and as normal as possible.

I know really, really famous people who are terrified every time they walk on to a stage.

When you've been going on about something for a while, it is always satisfying to discover that other people agree with you.

I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good.

Somebody asked me recently, 'Have you done a lot of plays?' I thought hang on. I used to do nothing but plays. I've been very fortunate that on several occasions I've had jobs where I didn't want to be anywhere else in the world whatever you had to offer - however much money you've got.
