My references, my musical tastes, everything that I like, in fact, comes from the '70s.

For me, it’s about not being too aware of what you look like because if you are, you’re trying too hard and I don’t think that actually makes you look good. I’ve known from very early on that I don’t look perfect.

I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.

I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for someone like Cate Blanchett, find Emma Thompson wonderful, Meryl Streep inspiring, Juliette Binoche full of light and Catherine Deneuve incredible.

I believe you have to make things happen.

I realised that since I was a child I wanted to be an actress just to dress up in big fabrics and corsets and have adventures riding horses with lots of blood and action!
