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!

There are very few actresses who can grow old and still get exciting parts... I think it's very important for me to have wider horizons, rather than just waiting for calls.

I believe you have to make things happen.

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

Paris is where my family are, but it's not really home now because I have dear friends in London and dear friends in New York.

There is no moment where you can rest and think: 'Wonderful, I have that job now. I'm going to spend five years here.' There's a constant judgment on your work that's very strongly related to what you are.

I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.
