You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.

I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.

Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.

I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.

You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.

I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.

I was putting all those pressures on myself.

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.

I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough.

In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

The English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French.

The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.

I used to hate being recognised.

There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.

It's nice that we have all these different films.

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.

When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.

The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

There are two things to aim at in life first to get what you want and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

I'm really interested in writing a piece of music that will move you, that will really move you. That is really the only reason that I'm writing music.

When youre a filmmaker youre part of a very expensive art form.

I'm a big karaoke fan and I also love Justin Bieber unashamedly.

As a matter of traditional and sound constitutional doctrine, an amendment to the Constitution should be the last resort when all other measures have proved inadequate.

If I want to believe that life is lonely and that nobody loves me, then that is what I will find in my world.

Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty.

I've always found music that is carnal very attractive but not in the most obvious way.

It is not a fragrant world.

Anyone that knows me knows what I'm about, and I'm very much a British actor, a European actor.

I think the idea of the social construction of beauty - this idea that beauty is simply whatever culture or society says it is - is on the run. Of course, beauty does arise in a cultural context. No one ever denies that. But there's also a natural response people have to it.

A dream is a microscope through which we look at the hidden occurrences in our soul.

I love the Beatles. Now I know I'm a good few decades late on this one, but I've always been behind the curve.

Asked why they wanted to fight, the young women said they enjoyed it, just as some men and boys do.

Censorship ends in logical completeness when nobody is allowed to read any books except the books nobody reads.

I suffered from eating disorders when I was just a kid. I did not like me or the way I looked. But back then, you could not tell anyone.

We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria, and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom.

Well my briefing was that Honduras was a small and vulnerable country just back on the path towards democracy it was about to have just before I arrived, the first elections for a civilian president in more than 9 years.

Believe me, I don't like being photographed. I don't like myself in pictures. Actually, I do sometimes.

In a way, we women take on more than we need to sometimes.
