I haven't done an international film for a long time.

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.

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.

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.

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

Life without challenge    is life denied any chance      for one to achieve.

People respond to kindness. They trust a smile more than a promise that you will leave them choking on their own blood.

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

What the heart knows today the head will understand tomorrow.

It is only when people can feel that their lives and the property which their industry has produced today will continue to be safe...that there can be...stability of value and...economic progress.

What you radiate outward in your thoughts, feelings, mental pictures and words, you attract into your life.

The fear of death comes from limited awareness.

Love is the easiest thing there is. It's the layers of doubt, fear, and expectation that make it complicated.

I don't make the best movies in the world, but at times, I do feel like I'm adding something to the cinematic community.
