“I’m not a marketing person. I don’t ask myself questions. I go by instinct.”

I don’t want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven’t done. There’s no “again.” There’s only the future. I hate the past – especially my own past.

Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.

I never fall in love.

I’m never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that’s the secret to doing things well.

I’m born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.

These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.

Personality begins where comparison ends.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

I never drink anything hot; I don’t like hot drinks, very strange.

I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don’t wake up before – the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.

I hate the word ‘cheap’. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive.

I am physically allergic to flip-flops

Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young.

To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don’t skip on makeup and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes.

Life should be larger than life. Size is important to escape normalization.

You have the ability to choose which way you want to go. You have to believe great things are going to happen in your life. Do everything you can – prepare, pray and achieve – to make it happen.

If I die young, everybody’s going to say they saw it coming.

What I’ve noticed about Hollywood is, if you go out there shouting about who you are, they will love you for it. But if you go out not knowing what it is that you’re representing, and you are just a canvas, they will make you into the thing they need you to be.

We no longer fear the age-old haunting questions: “Who am I?” “Why am I?” “Where am I going?” – and having cast out fear, we can be honest and charitable.

I think it’s so interesting which ways your career can go. I would have been a completely different actor doing a completely different story, and I would have missed ‘Lady Macbeth.’

It is impossible to discourage the real writers – they don’t give a damn what you say, they’re going to write.

I’m not really a big X’s and O’s guy, but if you want to go there, I’m more of a space-the-floor type of coach:

Before every game I used to go out and shot the same shots over and over and over. In the summer time I spent a lot of time just shooting. So really it just came natural.
