I started to do everything I could to succeed, but found that the more successful I became, the less people liked me.

There's a massive part of me that can be bold and courageous...very strong and very assertive and independent, almost to a fault sometimes.

I always wear something slightly masculine.

Money is the longest route to happiness.

I'm always changing things around. I have to change it all the time. I'm rearranging furniture and taking down paintings and putting up new ones, and buying new pieces of art.

When I pick a role, one of the things that I aspire to is that somebody's parent will come up to me after the film has come out and say, "My daughter idealizes that character. You're her hero." That's what I aim for. We're in the business of making heroes.

When I was young I was soft spoken and a little bit timid and passive. My dream then was to be a ballerina or a figure skater - something very delicate.
