So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.

It's very difficult when there are pictures taken on the red carpet. I find those things so terrifying that another persona just kicks in. I don't recognise myself.

When I very first started out, I had that arrogance of youth.

And whatever my weight, I've always been skinny from the waist up.

I live quite an unsettled life.

I think work really is a life saver, because it carries you forward, which is good.

I'd love to adopt, but having a daughter, Daisy, who's in the middle of her teens, I'm now thinking: Is this a time to start all over again or is this a time to realise those child-rearing years are over?

To newspapers and publishing houses I urge the use of fact over fiction, freedom of the press, and responsibility at all times.

You grow up by making mistakes. I've made a ton of them, but as long as I keep on failing better, I don't mind.

The highest pay cheque my mother ever received funded the building of a nursery school in Shepherd's Bush - the school cost well over three times the money she donated to the making of the film 'The Palestinian.' Unsurprisingly this always goes unmentioned in the press.
