I actually pointed my wand and it blew up! The power! The power was just like Angry Birds, but big [as] life.

I do think imperfection's underrated.

The problems come when your personal life and relationships come under scrutiny in the press and often very uncomplimentary things are printed about you.

The thing about the Oscars is real life doesn't stop. You have to get back to planet Earth the following morning. The rubbish needs taking out. The kids will be crying. They'll need feeding. Kids do not care whether you've been to the Oscars!

Wear what you feel comfortable with. People say nasty things about what I wear in the street. I'm always in worst dressed lists, but you just have to dress for yourself and ­nobody else.

I'm not dead and I don't have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it's fine. I think it's beautiful and a real work of art.

I just went and got an agent because I thought I can create my own world - you can't right your own life, but you can escape to a world where you can have control.
