I do sometimes worry about getting older and the fact that I am not going to be a model for ever...[But] The fact that Helen Mirren can look so great in swimwear is an amazing boost for all women.

I don't want to make the same mistakes of being swept along with things, taking on jobs that I'm not passionate about, that I don't really believe in but that everyone says I should do.

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

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!

What I am is how I came out. No one's perfect and you just have to accept your flaws and learn to love yourself.

I have the thickest skin of anyone you'll ever meet. No one can say anything about me I haven't heard a million times before.

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