Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one, let me tell you.

It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

I don't think many actors are that good, to be honest. I certainly don't think I am.

There are lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are the right people and they'll stand with them for quite a long time.

I'm not really a political animal but I am rather fascinated by the meltdown of England and America. In the end, it seems as if America might come out of it, but I'm not sure if England is ever going to recover.

I think marriage is ghastly.

If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they're the more dangerous lies to come to terms with.
