I felt like I was living in some sort of video game and people pre-empting every move I made, obviously as a result of accessing my private information.
I feel we live in the kind of culture now where you have to be very smart to navigate the right way, and I just don’t have those smarts. I think with age and time it will change, but I can’t obsess about it.
With acting, there is a level of anonymity which is conducive to your profession. There are examples of very public people who are on the cover of every celebrity magazine but can’t open a film.
I think as a young actress, it’s very rare that you read something where you’re not either ‘the girl’ or there to serve some romantic purpose in a male dominated cast.
I would often find myself, at the age of 21, at midnight, running down a dark street on my own with 10 men chasing me. And the fact they had cameras in their hands made that legal.
I’ve had some real hair disasters.
I’ve always kind of done exactly what my instincts said.
I’m really grounded and quite hippie, wanting to nurture and have children and be quiet.
I lived my twenties in a very public manner and if anyone’s twenties are documented it’s not always going to be pretty.
I think, if you put a camera in anyone’s life and document it daily from the age of 21 to 27, there are going to be things that aren’t always pretty.
I sometimes get very protective of the people I play.
I think love is a really hard thing to define. I think it’s multifaceted.
I was very nervous about taking on an empire that was richer and far more powerful than I will ever be. It was very daunting.
I’m far too low maintenance to ever spend more than five minutes getting ready to go out.
I’m no longer interested in being in big commercial films.
All the legal action I’ve taken against newspapers has had a massively positive effect on my life and achieved exactly what I wanted, which is privacy and non-harassment.
I love my job, I’ve always loved my job.
As I get older I’m more and more comfortable being alone.
I was blinded by being a romantic person.
I’ve said things and meant them, but I’m obviously a very confused person who has no idea how they feel about things.
