I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words 'ice queen' attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There's this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.

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

I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.
