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.

If anyone says 'Let's have a girls' night out', I will run in the opposite direction.

There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.

If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.

You know those drugstore kits that tell you when you're pregnant? They should have one that tells you when you're sane.

I mean, if you're being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who's really smart, it's great. If you're being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn't happened very often - it can be very frustrating.

I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!
