At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.

My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.

My style is scruffy with a touch of androgyny.

I always wear flat shoes, because I can't walk in anything else.

I've always been an animal lover. People should be made aware of all the issues. Some people think that the whole wearing-fur thing is glamorous, but you can look good without it.

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

I'm playing a very strong character, it's the story of the woman Polish Jews out of the Warsaw ghetto. I've just begun my weapons training and the SAS type training that's getting me fit.

I've never got into debt and I've always been in control of my taxes and VAT, but having four children costs a lot. They are my weakness.

My father was a painter and an anarchist, always getting in trouble for his performance art.

We don’t smile, but we something. We something. It hurts, the way a deep connection to someone who isn’t yours sometimes does.

In an instant all will vanish and we'll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness.

The organizers and perpetuators of segregation are as much the enemy of America as any foreign invader.

If you would persuade, you must appeal to interest rather than intellect.

Of course I was a dork, but that's OK. Because all the coolest people I know were dorks.

I want to be all used up when I die.

If we are in a supermarket when someone drops a bag of groceries on the floor and we don't help that person pick things up, what difference does it make how deeply we know we're a being of God?.

I lost some time once. It's always in the last place you look for it.

I have never had an office that I work out of and work has become intertwined with my personal life.

You can only make so much money in life and only enjoy so many creature comforts. The important thing is to do something meaningful-to leave something behind.
