None of this 'different diets' lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad.
I'd rather do theatre and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
Commitment to one other person in life is glorious.
I get up extremely early in the morning.
Mum and Dad were very much friends and up for life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up; they just taught me to be me.
My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver.
You see, I was never a big fan of contemporary movies because they always make actresses and actors look too perfect.
Single mums do come in for a hard time. Society is incredibly judgmental. I know this.
I have no regrets. (I)f you regret things, (then) you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.
I resent that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. I've got a lovely husband and children, and I didn't lose weight to find those things.
My god, I'm not really doing it for that. I don't think we really need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It's like, how many have there been? We get it! It was grim! Move on! No, I'm doing it because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust? Guaranteed Oscar. I've been nominated for four. Never won!
I think that between 27 and 37 was a really big learning decade.
I'm not a believer in hiding things from my kids because ultimately they are going to have questions - they feel things.
'Harry Potter' really harnessed the imagination of so many young-adult minds, and it's the same with the 'Divergent' series.
