On the characters she likes to play:
"A lot of times in cinema today the women are overly sentimental, so I constantly try to do the opposite. I like strident women."
On the anxieties of fame:
"You have this feeling -- everyone wants a bit of you. Wants to suck a bit of you. Wants a piece of you. It does feel like that. Any sane person knows, this is not nice. It's a pretty horrific profession, really."
