I mean the truth is, I've always been interested in the whole setup of the old world.

When you are desperate to get someone who isn't all that interested in you, you lay siege as hard as you can.

I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time.

We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it's nice to avoid them.

It's the gloomy things that need our help, if everything in the garden is sunny, why meddle?

I envy people who can think, 'No, I'm not going to work today' when they have a huge pile of deadlines stacking up.

I love 'Sex and the City;' I think I've seen every episode.
