I do find it extraordinary that men are so prepared to pay for your dinner here. That simply never happens in England. When I first got together with Len, I couldn't understand why it seemed like he was always trying to get into my side of the car. He was holding the door open for me! I don't know what you teach American men in school here, but you have to keep it up, because it's extremely charming.

I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring.

Were I not married to the director, I'm not sure I'd know anything about the 'Underworld' sequel.

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.

Given that I can't sing like Freddie Mercury, obviously I'm not going to pursue it as a career. What would be the point?

I feel like I've done a bunch of period stuff and then a bunch of romantic comedies.

I would quite like to play a big concert as Freddie Mercury. I cant sing that great and I havent yet found a use for the over large size of my teeth. I quite fancy a mustache like that and he was such a great showman.
