I've worked on jobs where there are almost 200 people on set... you always make an effort to have a relationship but you can't really when there's 200.

My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months. And then I'd spend it on Christmas presents. I'd save up like eight pounds. It's nothing, but we did that.

I think when you write an enigmatic character into a film, you have to have real confidence that the audience are going to go with it.

My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.

I wouldn't change a thing in my own life, but I'd like to go back in time anyway though, just to some eras that I wish I'd lived in, like the '60s. I'd love to have been in London in the '60s, partying away.

I don't want to be about the way I look - my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.

I've never been to the opera; I've only seen opera on DVD.
