I'm not at all fed up with British films, but I am fed up with playing upper-class people.

I am sure that, had I grown up with both parents, had I grown up in a safe environment, had I grown up with a feeling of safety rather than danger, I would not be the way I am.

I'm very wary of trust, you see.

I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.

Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.

It doesn't make you feel very good being mean and fierce; it is much nicer playing people who are kind and sweet.

If you're feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you're different.
