“I would really love to do a musical, I don’t know in what capacity but something funny.”

I am thinking about those things now. More so than all my friends – they’re a lot older than me, but they’re not even thinking about babies.

In the next few years I’d love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her – she would be crafty in a clever kind of way.

I’m happy in the UK. I absolutely love it and I’ve finally got a great group of friends. I’ve got a lovely little flat and my work’s here.

The whole size zero debate is disgusting. My sister, who’s 13, looks amazing – but she’s already worried about her figure.

I think Beyonce Knowles got a couple of million for a private show but I would be happy to turn it down.

Yeah, I fancy women big time… I check them out more than I check men out. Maybe I would want to sleep with a woman… Not Beyonce, although I like the look of her, I don’t think she’s that dirty.

I suppose that’s a lot to do with our current climate and financial messes. I certainly see that people seem to have to work harder with a lot less time.

They’re great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental.

I was freakishly ambitious. I didn’t want to be a child. I wanted my own flat, to work and be a grown up.

I was very similar at 19. I wanted something to happen in life, I wanted a bit more. I wanted to find someone who could challenge my ideas. So I definitely tapped into that.

A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre-record, you don’t have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.

The more things you own, the more people you need to employ.

Weight doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy with yourself.

So basically, I don’t know what I’m talking about. But maybe I do.

To be in the mainline is to have a history and not simply to be an amalgam, a community church of who knows what that came from who knows where.

Everyone lives the way she knows best. What I mean by ‘their happiness’ is living a life untouched as much as possible by the knowledge that we are really, all of us, alone. That’s not a bad thing.

The public needs to know – they need to know as much about atrial fibrillation as they do about cancer and diabetes.

Nobody ever listened to me until they didn’t know who I was

People ask without wanting to know.

No religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.

Nobody knows [who they are] because when [terrorists] are dead and they are killed, they don’t have any ID.
