I would be extremely stupid if I said that my looks had absolutely nothing to do with what I do, it [moviemaking] is a visual medium. I'm perfectly aware of that, the face and the body help. Of course they do.

They always pencil in my boobs. I was only angry when they were really droopy. For King Arthur, for a poster, they gave me these really strange droopy tits. I thought, well if you’re going to make me fantasy breasts, at least make perky breasts.

I always find it much easier when there's one person whose vision you're following, as opposed to many people.

In film as a medium, you're often given a baddie and a goodie and told what to think about them; it's usually a very definite point of view.

All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.

When I was about 5 I think, I desperately wanted to be a pirate and have the hat and everything.

In the movie, you're moving, you have personality, you don't have to be great looking.
