I'll never forget where I'm from. It's essential to remain humble and evolving.
Anybody, anywhere in the world, all they want is to be free, to choose what they want to do without having someone tell them how to do it.
Here's another secret - I have really big feet. I'm a size ten, so every opportunity I get I buy myself shoes.
I'm a human being before anything else.
When a doctor is performing an operation, his mind cannot be somewhere else.
In terms of romantic films, all-time romantic films, I really like 'Gone With the Wind.' And I realize I sound so cliched saying that, but there's something so absolutely romantic about it.
I've learned to develop a thick skin, but you're bound to be affected when you read something bad about yourself in the paper and it's rubbed in your face over and over.
I feel like this whole idea of wanting something that you don't really have is also very American in a way.
I tell you why I like Chanel so much: when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one! All the labels said, 'Who is she?' But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning.
I'm glad I'm a strong person.
I find it very interesting these days that films are bringing in so many people of different ethnicities, and I'm proud to be a part of that cultural shift.
Of course I'm going to marry, but I don't know when.
I actually didn't mind school, and I enjoyed university and college.
I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world.
