The image of all the cars leaving pastel-colored people at the same time has never really left me as an anti-ambition for life!

Growing up in England, you're sort of spoiled, in a way. You sort of take it for granted that within a half-hour's drive, you could be walking around a stately home from the 1700s. It's not very hard to do - in California, you've got to take a flight!

I like Scottish people because they feel very true. They're always level and straight. They get a reputation for being hardened because of it, but I find them to be scrupulously honest people.

I don't have a publicist. I don't go to events or self-promote, or endorse things, or whatever it is people are meant to do in that world.

I really love living in cities where the people living above, below and next to you are from totally different worlds to you.

Sport is not my thing.

I think you can decide how much of yourself you're willing to make public.
