I'm so close to her that I feel that I don't have to act any more. It seems like I'm barely doing anything sometimes. She turned into someone that a lot of people can identify with. She's a great role model.
I'm lucky that I've worked with so many different directors with very different styles and with a lot of different actors.
For an actor, it is better to play well (or even not so well) in a bad film, than to not play at all.
I like to think of myself as an actress, I think of going through all of the films as my kind of film academy, the way that I've learnt.
I had been doing something for more than half of my life that I wanted to continue doing - I really loved making the film and I really love acting and it is what I want to do.
I like Valentino a lot - they never use actresses in their campaigns.
Obviously, I'm recognized on the street and I am away from home a lot more and, let's face it, I have an action figure of myself!
Being an actress, I find myself people-watching and I can be quite shy.
I went from being totally unknown and never acting professionally to being in a major movie and being very famous. It all happened so quickly, I didn't have any time to work things out. It's been pretty scary at times.
I think when you take away all, like, the premieres and press stuff and all the special effects, then you just come down to the fact that it's all about acting, and I think that has been the best bit for me.
As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
The only way I could tell the story was to intensify it, and shed anything that didn't serve that, ... It all flows very well, so you kind of forget what is actually missing.
Let's be honest, I have enough money to never have to work again.
I'm a very heady person; I'm in my head a lot.
