Nice is the worst word.

It's all about perfection, isn't it?

Envy is the last thing that my parents feel.

I think every girl is looking for her Mr. Darcy.

I think everybody has the right to a private life.

I find it difficult to see the romance in digital.

I always feel like I'm the one with everything to prove.

I see the world through my eyes. It's sometimes a strange world.

You have to learn the rules to be able to know how to break them.

The most important thing in playing any character is not judging.

Prince William definitely isn't my type, he's too horsey-looking.

I like watching films when I don't know anything about the people.

I'm ... incredibly open with my mates. Or even people I just meet.

Bigger films are more difficult because the number of people is so huge.

If I don't do this film. I'll be acting in corsets for the next 20 years.

I think it doesn't matter where you're from, we all need a bit of romance.

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

It's not everyday you get to do a pirate movie, you might as well go for it.

Be happy in your body. It's the only one you've got, so you might as well like it.

Because it does feel important to say it really doesn't matter what shape you are.

I cook. I go to farmers markets in London and cook really good sort of organic foods.

In the movie, you're moving, you have personality, you don't have to be great looking.

Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else's shoes and trying not to judge.

I'm obsessed with shoes. I must have hundreds of pairs...That reminds me- I need to go shopping!

When I was about 5 I think, I desperately wanted to be a pirate and have the hat and everything.

I'm doing a film now with a lot of guys as well, so at the end of that I will be growing a beard.

I see a pair of shoes I adore, and it doesn't matter if they have them in my size. I buy them anyway.

At this particular time, I probably am more comfortable with myself. Just now I'm having a lovely time.

Beauty is everywhere. And my photography came naturally without any particular inspirations growing up.

It's good to know that other people think differently, and that's what makes the characters interesting.

The whole point for me is to change as much as possible. If I've done one movie, I've done that, move on.

My mum says that I was born 45, and I do remember at six thinking that I should be earning my own living.

I am a slow reader. I always loved words, which is a strange thing given that I couldn't actually read them

The highest percentage of England's top jobs are filled by graduates from about two different universities.

I am a slow reader. I always loved words, which is a strange thing given that I couldn't actually read them.

My doctor was like, 'Any questions?' And I was like, 'Yes! When can I drink please?!' I just want a margarita.

I always find it much easier when there's one person whose vision you're following, as opposed to many people.

I really believe that in this industry women have to be very true to themselves about what they're comfortable with.

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

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 wish I was Sienna Miller. When I talk to her, I hope a bit of her party personality will rub off on me, but it never does.

I enjoy doing an action scene. I'm not a purist as far as films go. If you want to do sex, great. As long as you do it well.

The thing I love about acting is getting to change and look at different people in different lives and do different projects.

A lot of times in cinema today the women are overly sentimental, so I constantly try to do the opposite. I like strident women.

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.

And we're fortunate if we have parents who are great and loving and inspiring. But, unfortunately, there are people who don't have that.

In film as a medium, you're often given a baddie and a goodie and told what to think about them; it's usually a very definite point of view.

I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters.

I went from everyone saying, "She-can't-act-she-can't-act-she-can't-act," to an Oscar nomination. So there was something quite sublime about that!
