I am drawn to courageous women.

Fancy optimizers have fancy bugs.

Especially in Britain, people want to limit you.

I know I’ve got loads that has never been tapped.

I've often felt I don't belong quite wherever I am.

I think it's one of the great enrichments of life, romance.

I think I'll be flavor of the month when I'm in my fifties.

You can certainly keep a low public profile if you want to.

If I don't win the match I at least want to improve my game.

Looking back, I just think I was a really average sort of girl.

I think every physical program has to come from good nutrition.

I work in the entertainment industry, and I like to be entertained.

What's so great about 'Gone Girl' is the conversations it provokes.

Perhaps misguidedly, I always admire the people who are so polished.

I look my best when I'm totally free, on holiday, walking on the beach.

If someone makes you feel wrong-footed, you're unlikely to find them witty.

I long for the day when there are things I feel strongly about politically.

I'd really love to live in New York for awhile. That's what I'm hoping to do.

I'd like people to get a sense of who I am, yet I want to keep my privacy, too.

What I find sexy is when someone's having fun and able to look right back at you.

I think I needed rather than wanted to be an actor. There is not another way to put it.

Obviously when you're pregnant everything changes, you have another body to take care of.

I would love to play the lead in a big romantic comedy. That's definitely a dream of mine.

There are certainly contemporaries that I admire, like Emily Blunt. I think she is amazing.

I've got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I'm really fascinated by that.

I saw a lot of operas from backstage and watched a lot of rehearsals - my parents were singers.

I believe in eating all the right kinds of foods, and I don't believe in a totally nonfat diet.

Success is freedom - scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.

I never thought I'd make any money at all doing this business. Film was never even on the cards.

I'd like to do Nicole Diver in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender Is the Night,' if that ever gets made.

Actresses generally arent allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isnt considered as versatile.

In the original computer game of Doom, you not only have to kill things. You have to pulverise them.

You become sillier and more youthful as you get older, maybe, because you're over all your anxieties.

Feminism will never reach the next stage until women stop competing with each other on the level of looks.

Any actress - goodness, we're lucky to be working. We all know that. There are few parts, a few good ones.

Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel its a very honest emotion.

I'm probably not going to play a junkie and that's OK because there are other people who will do it better.

Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it's a very honest emotion.

It is interesting to break all the rules. I'm not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.

Some women can feel under-qualified due to a general lack of confidence whereas, in fact, they are uniquely qualified.

I decided to finish at Oxford because I looked up at the top of the buildings - the gargoyles and spires - and decided to stay.

As a woman, you feel that you shouldnt want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasnt it?

As a woman, you feel that you shouldn't want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasn't it?

I do know that the key to anything good is feeling relaxed and free. That's the main thing that you can offer yourself as an actor.

There are lots and lots of good actors out there, and often it's just luck if what you bring to the table syncs with the director's vision.

Acting is about communicating what it is like to be human: the pain, the laughs, the misery, the joy. I suppose I am searching to have it all.

If you told my 13-year-old self that one day I'd be talking about how Tom Cruise and I had good chemistry, she'd think you were completely mad.

You just never know who's going to have chemistry. You can put two of the sexiest people in the world together, and they could be completely flat.

I just hope and pray that I never get threatened by younger actresses coming up behind me. I hope I won't, but you never know what's going to hit you.
