I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.

I think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.

When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.

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

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.
