I still don't believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don't stuff down chocolate biscuits.

There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself.

I wanted to play incredibly challenging, multifaceted characters. Because we are all a puzzle.

Playing Juliet in Heavenly Creatures changed my life, and the role of Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind opened many new doors creatively.

I think I look nicer now. It's really weird cause when you're 21 you think, "Oh God, when I'm 36, oh God, that's nearly 40, and I'll look really old and wrinkly by then". And actually I quite like the way I look. I feel OK about myself these days.

I'd like to grow old with my face moving.

I love it when a character requires me to look less than my red-carpet best.
