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.

You don't choose a film because it's made by a woman, you choose it because it's good.

I am so bored with seeing stories about a mature man of 65 falling in love with a beautiful girl of 32.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.

I think I'm inspired mostly by other artists that aren't actors, like writers or singers or artists, for being so brave.
