It's really exciting to be in a film that people actually want to go and see! I was having to pay people to see my movies!

People are terrified for their own reputations. They want the press on their side.

I've actually never been taken on a date in my whole life. I have never had a one-night stand. I'm a real relationship person — contrary to public perception.

With acting, there is a level of anonymity which is conducive to your profession. There are examples of very public people who are on the cover of every celebrity magazine but can't open a film.

I'm not high maintenance.

Everyone in L.A. is very positive and upbeat, whereas London can get quite miserable at times.

I think the media has changed, not just in England but in the world.
