I try not the count chickens, and I really do because there's no point because you go crazy. I'm very happy with the way this is working out. If they do another movie I'd love to do, and we'll fit in it.

Shakespeare has way too many lines. My ideal theatre piece is about 40 minutes long with no interval.

As far as I'm concerned, the sexiness, the sex symbol, it's not a consideration.

I just think that the collective experience of going to see a film is something you can't recreate.

My mother gave me a real kick toward cooking, which was that if I wanted to eat, I'd better know how to do it myself.

A man is still likely to earn more money than a woman, even one doing the same job. You have a far better chance of entering political office or becoming a company director... Women are responsible for two thirds of the work done worldwide, yet earn only 10% of the total income and own 1% of the property... So, are we equals? Until the answer is yes, we must never stop asking.

It's not like I go out there to be a sex symbol. I mean, it's nice of course - but embarrassing.
