“I want to get up at 6 A.M. and go swimming and do 30 lengths.”

“I was a very defiant child, and my father encouraged that. He wanted me to be as wild and creative as possible and didn't believe in disciplining children.”

“I don't like it when people don't act on their words.”

“My father was a painter and an anarchist, always getting in trouble for his performance art.”

“By 17, I was modeling and had bought myself a flat. I've always tried to be self-sufficient.”

“It is so important that you don't stay with someone just for the children and for the wrong reasons.”

“I'm a strong woman.”

“There are people out there who want me to fail, who want Jude to fail, who want our relationship to fail.”

“I've concentrated for a long time on English films because I've got two kids but my oldest son is 11 and I think I'm going to be away for about four months of year now.”

“I'm the kind of person who'll have a few drinks and fall asleep at 11.”

“I've never got into debt and I've always been in control of my taxes and VAT, but having four children costs a lot. They are my weakness.”

“I don't allow meat in my house or in my oven. My whole family is vegetarian - and although I've given my kids the choice to order meat at a restaurant when they reach five, they're not interested.”

“My parents are from Manchester but I was brought up in London, Camden Town.”

“At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.”

“My kids inspire me to be the person I am today - without them I wouldn't be who I am today.”

“I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.”

“My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change.”

“Having money has given me a certain freedom, but being in the public eye has taken away a lot.”

“I was fiercely independent and ambitious from a very young age.”

“Just to be remembered is good enough for me. Lots of people are forgotten.”
