“I’m doing a film now with a lot of guys as well, so at the end of that I will be growing a beard.”

I think fashion is like putting on armor. I like that aspect of it, but it’s not something I want to think about every day.

I think quite often when you have a hell of a lot more money and time, as you very much do on a big studio film, you don’t necessarily have to make the decisions right there. You can always goback and reshoot it.

I made a conscious decision to live my life the best way I could and that meant to publicise myself as little as possible.

In L.A., I’m twice the size – height and everything else – of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition.

I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.

You bring yourself to every role, it doesn’t matter who it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mass murderer, you can bring something to it.

I like to do the pictures before people get too self-conscious. I like to be spontaneous and get a shot before the subject thinks too much about it.

It’s very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.

I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters.

Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes and trying not to judge.

You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.

I would be extremely stupid if I said that my looks had absolutely nothing to do with what I do, it [moviemaking] is a visual medium. I’m perfectly aware of that, the face and the body help. Of course they do.

I see the world through my eyes. It’s sometimes a strange world.

I’ve always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.

I think it doesn’t matter where you’re from, we all need a bit of romance.

I don’t quite understand what Tolstoy’s actual personal view of Anna is – whether he likes her or hates her, whether she’s the heroine or the antiheroine.

Don’t want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon grave yard.

I’m maturing as a man. I’m maturing more inside the ring, but at the end of the day I’m still Adrien Broner.

And when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody’s going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.

And when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

When I got to the end the top was down.

I was in a fashion show and I had on a strapless top.

At the end of the day, nine times out of 10, they are going to win.

Tt continues while we’re still trying to figure out the point of it. And it ends long before we’ve worked out just what to do.
