Part of Breast Cancer Care's work is to make sure everyone in the UK is breast aware throughout their adult lives,
I get up extremely early in the morning.
'Harry Potter' really harnessed the imagination of so many young-adult minds, and it's the same with the 'Divergent' series.
I just hope for the best, hope I'm going to find a dress that is comfortable and shoes that don't make me scream after half an hour.
I really believe in, 'Move on, live and let live, forgive and forget.'
Before 'Titanic,' yes, I had done some things and, yes, I had been nominated for an Academy Award, but I had never been sort of world-famous. And I suppose, yes, I am really famous now. But I feel embarrassed to say that because it's just a bit daft for me.
I have no regrets. (I)f you regret things, (then) you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.
I never saw 'Titanic' as a springboard for bigger films or bigger pay cheques. I knew it could have been that, but I knew it would have destroyed me.
I'm not the pedigree kid. I'm not classically trained. I didn't come from the fancy home, no.
I was 17 when Peter Jackson asked me to be in 'Heavenly Creatures.'
I don't read magazine articles that I've been in.
I don't read any reviews, so I'm oblivious to what they have to say. I'm completely unaware. It's fantastic.
'Holy Smoke' is very brave because I don't think it's easy to watch.
I'd rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
