It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts.

I regard myself as an actress but, obviously, not in the Dame Judi Dench league. That isn't a problem because I don't think we are ever likely to be up for the same part!

I've always paid my own way, I've never lived off anyone.

I was minding my own business, really, and then all of a sudden, Hollywood approached me.

Women in the 1950s were so much sexier. That's what I aspire to look like.

I've always wanted to be independent and answer for myself. That probably is the part of me I would class to be feminist. I'd like to have children; marriage I have a bit of an issue with.

I think TV is all about not turning off the public, it's about not being too sexy, not being too much of anything really.
