Girls go out together to see a chick flick or something. I loathe, I hate, chick flicks.

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 have to say, without sounding like a total tosser, that everything I've learned in life, and that has taken me out of my natural interior life, has been with men. They exposed me to things that I wasn't aware of. I learned from all the guys.

Painters hate having to explain what their work is about. They always say, 'It's whatever you want it to be' - because I think that's their intention, to connect with each person's subconscious, and not to try and dictate.

There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.

I'm not a communist, of course. But I do think that everything is down to economics. Capitalism doesn't change.

I am in a fabulously lucky position in that I get to wear beautiful, beautiful gowns for functions, which I can then give back. That way, they're not sitting in my wardrobe with me looking at them and feeling guilty. I love that, and I think when people have a fabulous function to go to, I'd recommend renting.
