I'd like people to get a sense of who I am, yet I want to keep my privacy, too.
I think I'll be flavor of the month when I'm in my fifties.
I long for the day when there are things I feel strongly about politically.
You just never know who's going to have chemistry. You can put two of the sexiest people in the world together, and they could be completely flat.
As a woman, you feel that you shouldn't want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasn't it?
Actresses generally aren't allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isn't considered as versatile.
Perhaps misguidedly, I always admire the people who are so polished.
I find I clash sometimes with people who like to plan things and book you in for lunch. I'd rather someone call me up, say: 'Are you free tonight and d'you wanna go to the roller-disco? Or play pool?'
I think I was lucky in that I wasn't one of those girls who are told they are pretty the whole time. I never got that. Nor did I ever obsess about my looks as a teenager.
I do know that the key to anything good is feeling relaxed and free. That's the main thing that you can offer yourself as an actor.
I work in the entertainment industry, and I like to be entertained.
I'd like to do Nicole Diver in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender Is the Night,' if that ever gets made.
Peter Chelsom and Edgar Wright are totally different directors and worlds apart, but both really accomplished directors who are certain of how they want to make a film.
We thought there should be a bit more edge though. We wanted the sisters to grow a little apart, which I think often happens when emotions come into play.
