I always love working with young actors, because there's always something to learn. It's always exciting to see the next generation and how they approach things and what's great about them and what's not so great about them.

I loathe, I hate, chick flicks.

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

I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.

I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.

I prefer the finesse of French humour. English humour is more scathing, more cruel, as illustrated by Monty Python and Little Britain.

The poor Oscars - they always get slammed in the press.
