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.

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 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.

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

Your downfall is a preparation for your up-rise. If you don’t know this secret, you will remain on the floor, blaming your legs instead of your head!

We should not take our ‘Humanity’ for granted. We should love and respect things as if they were ourselves.

I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.

Im very clear that everyone in the world loves me. I just dont expect them to realize it yet.

To inform, and, therefore to reconnoitre , this is the first and constant duty of the advanced guard.

The liberty to live for self alone becomes in time a weary bondage.

No one has a corner on depression, but housewives are working on it.

What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism.

When I was growing up in the '60s I would have thought that westerns would last forever.

And because I love this life, I know I shall love death as well.
