I grew up all over the world. My father was in the army and was posted to a new place every two and a half years. I have no geographical roots.

Sometimes I think it'd be fun to do a completely different job for a while. You've got one life and you do the same job for the whole of it, and you think - was that a good use of a life?

I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.

I have a wardrobe full of expensive clothes, but wear the same two T-shirts. I've never found a look.

I never have time to myself; it's the one thing about my life I would probably hope to change.

I'd rather be useful than rich. It's more essential to feel you're doing something that's worth doing, rather than making a lot of money.

Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.
