I love the English people - if you don't want to speak, you don't speak. And I'm quite like that sometimes.

Sometimes relationships are short, sometimes long, sometimes they're very deep and intense, and drama school is a hell of a learning curve.

I dream about my teeth, losing a tooth, which I think means that you want control back.

Whenever I've worn trousers or a suit, it always makes me feel sexy but effortless and confident.

I think, for me, the main thing is feeling comfortable.

I was really sporty and loved singing. I started off doing musical theater. I left university to go to drama school. So I was a bit of a black sheep.

My approach to jewelry has always been to keep it very simple, but if you want to wear something, make sure it is exquisite and lovely and will stand out.

There is something very nice about coming to New York and how everyone smiles - even if they don't mean it. When I go back home to London and say hello to people, they look at me like I'm crazy.

Mark Strong is an amazing person. I just kind of enjoyed watching him. He is just so calm, dedicated, professional, and an absolute gent as well.

He had long been curious at leaders intermittent calls for a return to past values and had tested the notion by trying to build a house from the sky downwards

When I'm acting, I just want to be the character and not have to think of any film technicalities.

Part of me was always trying to prove that I belonged and prove that I deserved the job and prove that I could handle it. And that takes the fun out of it.

All my romantic stories are a scrambled version of that first one.

The promises of maniacs, like those of women, are not safely relied upon.

I am not in front of my body, I am in it or rather I am it... If we can still speak of interpretation in relation to the perception of one's own body, we shall have to say that it interprets itself.

I have no idea what that is, but yawn, anyway, just on principle. Eat up. Pancakes is brain food. Apparently not grammar food. Wow.You college girls are mean.

I love editing, and I don't mind when things are edited and you can see the editing.

The Art of the Romance, though warning us that it is providing fictions, opens a door into the Palace of Absurdity, and when we have lightly stepped inside, slams it shut behind us.
