I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.

If you're constantly frightened of being unhappy, how bloody exhausting must that be?

I've often sat down with people talking about a film I've been in, and they haven't realized I was in it.

I'm a very positive person. My grandmother taught me that happiness is both a skill and a decision, and you are responsible for the outcome.

I spent my teenage years in Paris when my dad was stationed there, and I'd look at women in their forties and think, 'That's the age I want to be.'

I was lucky to learn early in life that you need money for food and shelter, but there's no ambition in having money in the bank for the sake of it!

It's what people create that makes my heart stop.
