“Being seduced by a man on crutches was an interesting experience.”

“It's funny how being an actor forces you to do things or go places that you wouldn't ordinarily.”

“I always tell people this: to be a savvy politician or a good head of state and to be charitable are not mutually exclusive things.”

“The world is changing so quickly, and actors now have this huge platform of social media to interact with their audiences, but I choose not to have a social media footprint. I'm old-school like that.”

“I love watching the old movies. I love Katharine Hepburn. I just adore her and everything that she stood for. I find it interesting watching the likes of Gene Tierney and those classic movies of the '40s.”

“'The Hunger Games' has something for everyone.”

“As a child, I was prancing around in my mother's high heels and a ra-ra skirt, singing 'Material Girl' into my hairbrush.”

“Isn't it lovely to know that even the great Sherlock Holmes, the quirky and genius Sherlock Holmes, is vulnerable to love as we all are?”

“I'm a feminist in the true sense of the word. It's about equality.”

“To be joining 'The Hunger Games' family is such a thrill. It deserves the hype because it's well written, handles really big subject matter, but doesn't talk down to its audience. And then there's the romance element.”

“We don't have enough young, female antiheroes. We don't accept women as antiheroes the way we do the men.”

“When I turn on the news in Paris, the way Syria is covered is different from the way it is covered in Washington, D.C., or London. Even in Western society, where we hold all the values of democracy and freedom of speech, as soon as you point a camera in a particular direction, there is an angle - literally and figuratively.”

“The beauty of 'The Hunger Games' and also 'Game of Thrones,' in fairness, both projects have really complex, three-dimensional, contradictory, strong women... The writing of female characters is extraordinary and equal to the men.”

“I'm not clever enough to be in machinations and real politics.”

“I love poker!”

“My role as Ewan McGregor's girlfriend in the film 'Incendiary' ended up on the cutting-room floor, but at least I had two brilliant days of acting with Ewan.”

“Obviously, you have quieter years than others - you don't go jumping out of a plane every day.”

“I'm a massive yoga head. Lots of yoga and lots of running. I do Bikram yoga. I adore it.”

“I love my camera crews on all my jobs. It's the half of the job that the audience never gets to see. They're integral. They're as much a part of making a movie or television show as I am.”

“I love cycling.”
