As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.

I think there has always been an obsession with youth and beauty. What's missing is the equal obsession with respect for…older people…and their wisdom and knowledge and courage.

There were some films I refused because the feminist aspect was a bit wonky.

I was born with a need to be the center of attention, and, of course, you're the center of the world when you're acting

I started noticing how stained the pavements are in London. The pavements in Beverly Hills aren't used; in London, they're used for everything. It doesn't matter how much they're cleaned, they still reflect light

Men don't want any responsibility, and neither do I.

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention
