“Envy is the last thing that my parents feel.”

My upbringing is why I am the person I am today. I have very wise parents.

I find it difficult to see the romance in digital.

I think fashion is like putting on armor. I like that aspect of it, but it’s not something I want to think about every day.

I think quite often when you have a hell of a lot more money and time, as you very much do on a big studio film, you don’t necessarily have to make the decisions right there. You can always goback and reshoot it.

I made a conscious decision to live my life the best way I could and that meant to publicise myself as little as possible.

In L.A., I’m twice the size – height and everything else – of most of the other actresses who are going for an audition.

I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.

You bring yourself to every role, it doesn’t matter who it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mass murderer, you can bring something to it.

I like to do the pictures before people get too self-conscious. I like to be spontaneous and get a shot before the subject thinks too much about it.

It’s very rare to get a film script that has good dialogue. A lot of the time, you spend on film sets really fighting to find out how to say the words.

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 felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.

I feel a lot of people listen to what I have to say.

If you’re feeling a little low, put on a pair of high heels and stand a little taller! Always works for me!

Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can’t help but move to it. That’s what happens to me. I can’t help it.’

Let go of the things that make you feel dead! Life is worth living!

Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things.

Never underestimate a man’s ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.

It is a thousand pities never to say what one feels.
