“I'm always open to trying out new things.”
“I've been insane from a very early age.”
“I'm a bed monster.”
“Privacy is important to me. But it's not just about sticking two fingers up and saying I don't want anyone to know my business. It's an artistic choice. I think that for any actor to convince their audience that they have completely inhabited a character requires a certain level of anonymity.”
“I get accused of having a haughty smugness. I have a lopsided mouth. I can't help it. I was born with it. It looks as if I am smirking. I have had my publicist tell me, 'Don't do that smile on the red carpet.' I'm, like, 'That's my smile.'”
“My first time to Rome was when I was backpacking with my best friend around Europe for a month at 18 years old, so I remember that excitement of being away from home properly for the first time.”
“Good style - regardless of fads - means the thing that suits your body.”
“I want to keep people guessing.”
“I'm a 'Blackadder' girl.”
“We live in one of the most complex ages for young, professional women.”
“I don't know if I'm a daredevil, exactly, but I do enjoy a good challenge. It's the only way you grow.”

“Shaving half my head was a look that meant I could go punkier with my style.”
“I'm a London girl, so I grew up on Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood... Dior, Chanel, the usual suspects.”
“Make-up is all about shading; it's about tactical application.”
“For me, it's not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. It's interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. It's about the journey. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it.”
“I've played a lot of elegance and refinement, so to do something really down and dirty is a great attraction.”
“Women have a lot of... attitudes enforced in us about our sense of attractiveness being bound up in long, flowing, Hollywood kind of hair.”
“I screen tested for 'The Tudors' in N.Y. That was my first experience of N.Y., being flown here to screen test with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. So I have very, very fond memories of New York - New York helped give me my first big break.”
“I'm quite physical. I'm from one of those dog-walking families where hiking up a mountain is meant to be fun.”
