I think, as an artist, whether you're making people laugh or cry or be frustrated or excited - the fact that you're generating some sort of emotion out of an audience is, to me, worth it.

Theres nothing more romantic than Italian food.

I don't ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie.

I've always wanted to shave my head for a role because I've wanted to play a character who had a shaved head. I don't know what the fascination is.

I'm used to being someone else 10 months out of the year.

The celebrity body I most admire is Madonna's. She has the most incredible physique - and the woman's in her 50s!

I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.

I do believe that when you know better, you do better. You know what was wrong about the last relationship, and hopefully you will do better the next time.

To sit through a film where you're just unmotivated to be interested in a character is probably the worst thing that could ever happen.

I find myself maybe just pushing myself to create characters that are a little outside the box, and if that sort of gets the critics talking, then I can take it.

That's when you know a horror film delivers - when you're walking out of the theater going 'Oh my God!' You can't get the images out of your mind.

You try to find things that are challenging and interesting and hopefully it will be the same to the audience.

All the people we used to know, they're an illusion to me now.

The radio was my big influence. Comedy came from the instinctual feel I had for language.

The great advantage in noble parentage is that enables one to endure poverty more easily.

You can be sorry you aren't perfect, but never be sorry for being yourself.

Being wrong is acceptable, but staying wrong is totally unacceptable.

Africa's a wreck and it's not because it was hit by an asteroid. It's a wreck largely because it was hit by Europe.

Just to be is holy, just to live is a gift.

What love commences can be finished by God alone.

It is conceivable that at some point a truly united and powerful European Union could become a global political rival to the United States.
