The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.

It felt good doing a physical job, and going home each evening feeling like I had really done a day's work.

It was only when I finished the course and left my graduation diploma on the bus that I realized I'd become an actor.

I know that Madonna is not a first-time filmmaker, but I have worked with a lot of first time filmmakers and I have worked with a lot of inexperienced film directors so that never has particularly worried me - I find it quite exciting - but I have never worked with a director who has had so little experience of directing who was so prepared.

Your version of the truth is all that matters.

Baddies always do get the best lines, that's the honest truth.

I'm attracted to seeing how different I can be, pushing the boat out.
