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

I see stardom very clearly as a construct that's been created in order to sell things.

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

I remember becoming aware of women's issues and inequality. It became glaringly clear to me when I was living in America that women are regarded as less intelligent than men.

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.

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

I'm not in the advertising business, but I think it would be very nice if people went to see the film Hamlet, because it was made with love and integrity
