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

If you have a connection to someone, it doesn’t matter what their exterior is.

I’d done a few short films before and thought acting was really creative, but when I worked with those guys, I was just like: “Wow!” They had such fun and freedom. They were trying things and stretching themselves. It was so inspiring that I was like: “I definitely want to do this!”

Please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over!’

For modeling, I was always creating characters. I dress like a tomboy. So, when I’d go into a shoot, there’d be all these dresses, and I’d say to myself, ‘Okay, this isn’t me. It’s somebody else. So, who is this person?’ Acting is the next level of that.

Something just happens. Everything changes for a reason.

I’m all alone. There has been no man in my life for several months now and although it would be nice to have a boyfriend.

I suppose I have stopped modeling officially. I’ve not done any for a good long while now.

I dont have that many friends.

A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don’t know where they get it from, sometimes.

I suppose each project is a new thing, so there’s all this excitement and nerves about this new thing.

I don’t really see myself as a big supermodel.

I get on with all my exes, so there’s nothing I need to forget about. I don’t know – life is shorter than it seems.

I don’t know what to expect for the next thing. There are always different people. It’s interesting.

I felt like it was really about people and how decisions and circumstances can change relationships.

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 come from the South Bronx – a true descendant of the melting pot. I grew up in a really mixed neighborhood; it was a very integrated life.

I would come home and she would tell me about her life that day and all her problems and I remember saying to her, look, you really got me through this picture because I would shed everything when I came home.

Whenever I do a parody it’s not meant to make you hate anybody’s music really.

We really don’t have an honest-to-goodness farm, more of a hobby farm.

You know, Lincoln was funny. I don’t think F.D.R. was very funny. But Lincoln was funny. Lincoln was really funny. But I think you should get elected first, and then show that you’re funny.

I have the right to express myself. Once we get through expressing, do we really move forward in society.

Things inspiring me – good melody, a great bass line, a fabulous voice… by which I mean someone who sounds great, rather than does pyrotechnics… and people playing really musically.

It wasn’t until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.
