I'm not really attracted to action sequences, because my experience is that it's quite a slow process to shoot them, and often we're not involved as actors.

The beautiful thing about it is that no two directors or actors work the same way. You also learn not to be afraid of discussion and conflict.

A lot of parents tell their children that if they want to be an actor, that's fine, but they should do something else first, so they've got something to fall back on. It doesn't work like that, as far as I'm concerned.

It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge, and I'll always give him my trust.

When you take the R sound out of French accent, and you just replace it with an R, it sounds Mexican.

A million pounds sounds like a lot of money now that I'm saying it. But in terms of moviemaking, it's not a lot of money. And yet you can see what can be done with that, with the talent of a great cinematographer and great director and actors.

I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.
