People in love don't see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It's about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don't think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I like Alexander McQueen's work a lot: he's always pushing boundaries, and he's rough around the edges.

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

After I left college, I went to work at the Royal Opera House in London, which became a real catalyst for me because it made me realize that I was interested in cinema and in the way life is thrust at you. So I started making films.

I think people are frightened of women making big decisions.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.
