“For me, being onstage for an hour and a half, my confidence was really huge for me. Doing eight shows a week for a run.”

Every single thing is like a new thing, so it’s never what I expect.

I can’t just settle for anybody. The fact is I’m choosy, but mainly about a man’s character. He has to be interesting, funny and clever. I don’t even mind if he’s not very good-looking.

I’ve always been really private about my personal life. I don’t talk about it.

I was like: “I’m actually doing this.” And now I feel more confident going into something.

I love ‘Breathless,’ and ‘Paris, Texas,’ and ‘Badlands.’

To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

I don’t think a name defines the core of who you are.

I’m like a boomerang, I always come back.

I had a really small role (playing goddess Aphrodite), and I was only working for just over a week with Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson.

I feel what is really great about Pusher is that it wasn’t about drugs and guns and strippers. That was just all circumstantial.

I dress like a tomboy.

When I first started modelling, as I was walking down the catwalk I just thought,

I didn’t hate it, but I was yearning to do something different. I was on a gradient. It was a gradual thing.

I don’t expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.

I’m not oblivious to that connotation of changing careers, so I’m just going in and doing the job.

I never knew modelling was what I wanted to do. I was just meandering through life having fun, having a laugh with my friends.

There is only one way in the world to be distinguished. Follow your instinct! Be yourself, and you’ll be somebody. Be one more blind follower of the blind, and you will have the oblivion you desire.

I logically don’t believe that all this stuff [surrounding us] is generated from dust. But I’m also not like “Jesus Christ came down to save us.” It’s almost selfish to think that human beings, on this plane of reality, are the end of it.

Some values must be universal, like human rights and the equal worth of every human being.

In our community, we have a duty to strengthen the weakest among us to build a better society.

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature.

Women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place.

My friends and I are crazy. That’s the only thing that keeps us sane!

That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!
