It's fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair.

I'm not clever enough to be in machinations and real politics.

I think that's the most dangerous kind of sexism: People don't realize it's there and we end up surreptitiously accepting it because it's just part of our culture. I've never experienced explicit, overt, confrontational sexism personally.

I just want to play real human beings. You know, I don't care if they're male or female.

I run; that's sort of my meditation. I've been to therapy in the past when I've had crisis moments in my life; I think it's very healthy. I think that's even a more acceptable attitude in America actually than it is probably back at home [in England].

Women need to have access to counseling services in the way that American or British women can have if something really bad or upsetting happens to them.

Isnt it lovely to know that even the great Sherlock Holmes, the quirky and genius Sherlock Holmes, is vulnerable to love as we all are?
