“Amazing, obviously. She’s been my idol since I re-enacted ‘Titanic’ and fell in love with Leo. And it’s a privilege to be called the next anything. But I suppose to be the next you is all you can do.”

Sometimes in the real world, there is fire between people.

I have been enormously lucky. My first role was in a great film by a woman director.

Everybody’s story of getting into the industry is just as difficult as the next person. Whether you come from money or no money, it’s not easy… you have to offer yourself; you can’t expect someone to get you.

I’ve tried not to get too bogged down by what people want you to be.

With ‘Lady Macbeth,’ I had two other things offered to me, and they would have also been very fun, but you just have to figure that out. And then you do it.

I got a really good insight into the world of wrestling.

People are getting together specifically to color. It’s amazing.

It’s amazing that Bill Clinton could do one thing and have sex with his secretary and really get away with it and still be powerful.

It’s just like we do over here in America, right? It’s amazing that we have presidents over here do the same thing, right?
