Authority figures are so irritating. Because they always tell you to do things for reasons that aren't very good. That sums up what authority is about for me.

I'm miserable: that's why I have such a bad back, because I'm endlessly stressing out about my career.

If you're an actor, there's going to be a sense of fantasy about yourself, especially in the celebrity world we live in today. You give the illusion of being in control, sexy, at ease, with never a difficult moment. Those are the basic lies that all celebrities tell. For me, they're the more dangerous lies to come to terms with.

My idea of a holiday was following my family up the hill with my pekinese, who would skip over the heather in front of me.

I've always had trouble with male authority figures because my father was such a martinet.

I smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.
