“I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods.”

I’ve had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it’s paparazzi photographers or for film posters.

Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes and trying not to judge.

You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.

I would be extremely stupid if I said that my looks had absolutely nothing to do with what I do, it [moviemaking] is a visual medium. I’m perfectly aware of that, the face and the body help. Of course they do.

I see the world through my eyes. It’s sometimes a strange world.

I’ve always gravitated towards people who are extreme. Whether its drugs, or kicking down doors. Normally, the people in my life had to escape to get back.

I think it doesn’t matter where you’re from, we all need a bit of romance.

I don’t quite understand what Tolstoy’s actual personal view of Anna is – whether he likes her or hates her, whether she’s the heroine or the antiheroine.

The most important thing in playing any character is not judging.

Be happy in your body. It’s the only one you’ve got, so you might as well like it.

The whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I’ve done one movie, I’ve done that, move on.

I wish I was Sienna Miller. When I talk to her, I hope a bit of her party personality will rub off on me, but it never does.

I think everybody has the right to a private life.

I like watching films when I don’t know anything about the people.

In film as a medium, you’re often given a baddie and a goodie and told what to think about them; it’s usually a very definite point of view.

I see a pair of shoes I adore, and it doesn’t matter if they have them in my size. I buy them anyway.

I love being at home and cooking and baking.

I never really cook from recipes. But the worst is when something turns out great and I can’t figure out how to make it again!

Actually, I’m happiest in Williams-Sonoma in New York. That’s a wonderful cooking store.

Since my kitchen is the most important part of my home, I want to be creative and innovative, not only in its aesthetic, but also in the tools that I’m using to cook.

I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it’s the best way to get to know a culture.

My dream as a passionate cook has been to go to Le Cordon Bleu. Never could my most incredible dream have lived up to the experience.

My wife gets so mad at me because I don’t like to cook on the grill.

Like most housewives, I don’t cook unless I have company.
