People smile at me as if they know me. I just smile back. They probably might know me.

I'm not that comfortable with actors receiving honours, partly because I think they ought to go to those who really help others.

It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.

I like being able to go to the supermarket and go on the Tube and have an ordinary domestic life. I'd hate to have to protect myself. I'm quite lucky that I can carry on without any intrusions. I don't get given a hard time by anyone.

You can't be angsty all day or else it becomes a sort of pale angst.

To do a blockbuster that isn't stressful is a delight.

The world would be a duller place without Moulin Rouge.
