I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays, and never got one job until I was in 'Four Weddings'.

I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.

Some people in my family achieved a lot, some people inherited a lot. But I turned my back on the whole thing.

In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life.

You have the God-given right to kick the government around - don't hesitate to do so.

It's not what you say, but how you say it!

If someone says tennis is not feminine, I say screw it.
