Women do well in their thirties. They put their bags down and say, 'This is who I am - like it or lump it.' There is a more relaxed quality, which I like.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.

Literally, I don't know where life is gonna go from one day to the next, and that's as exciting as it is tiring.

I don't like the word celebrity. If I become a good actress and be in movies where I'm expected to be a good actress, who is recognised, that's different to being what I consider to be a celebrity. My job is an actor and that's what I'm passionate about and adore. It's a privilege to be able to do this job for a living.

I'm not a show-off; I'm not an exhibitionist.
