As an actor, those are the roles that you long for. You always want something that's going to kick your last role out of the water and put you off on a new path.

I'm a would-be rebel. The good girl who'd like to be a bad one.

I still suffer terribly from stage fright. I get sick with fear. Not every night, but at the beginning and on occasion - not necessarily when I'm expecting it. You just have to cope with it - take it on the chin and work through it, trying to use the adrenalin to perform.

The French always seemed to be so chic. The food was better, the clothes were better, the makeup was better, the hair was better. Everything was better in France.

I don't throw a lot of parties. I find throwing parties a bit intimidating.

It was not my destiny, I kept thinking it would be, waiting for it to happen, but it never did, and I didn't care what people thought ... It was only boring old men who would ask me. And whenever they went, 'What? No children? Well, you'd better get on with it, old girl,' I'd say 'No! F*** off!'

I believe that if you want to go make your mark on the world you've got to go out and do it. Don't be shy, be adventurous.
