I'm not going to school just for the academics - I wanted to share ideas, to be around people who are passionate about learning.
-
I don't think my dad really knew what to do with me, as a daughter. He treated me like a boy; my brother and I were treated the same. He didn't do kid stuff. There were no kid's menus; you weren't allowed to order off the kid's menu at dinner - we had to try something from the adult menu.

As an actress I take roles I find interesting.
-
Empathy and the ability to use your imagination should have no limits.
-
I want to be a Renaissance woman. I want to paint, and I want to write, and I want to act, and I want to just do everything.
-
I've always been like that; I give 100 percent. I can't do it any other way.
-
My cinematic crush has been pretty much the same since I was 12: Kevin Costner.
-
I'm a very heady person; I'm in my head a lot.
-
Being an actress, I find myself people-watching and I can be quite shy.
-
If I went to somewhere busy, I wouldn't last very long. I can't go to a museum - I'll last 10 or 15 minutes in a museum. The problem is that when one person asks for a photograph, then someone sees a flash goes off, then everyone else sort of... it's sort of like a domino effect.
-
Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed dorm. Looking back, that was crazy.

It just always reveals to me how many misconceptions and what a misunderstanding there is about what feminism is. Feminism is about demonizing . Feminism is a stick with which to beat other women with. It’s about oppression, it’s about hatred, it’s about harming men. I really don’t know what my tits have to do with it. It’s very confusing.

I would love to persuade Christopher Bailey to get even just a section of Burberry that's, like, organic or free trade. I love him, he's a very good person and an amazing designer, and I have a lot of respect and time for him.
-
My grandma said - when I was really young and I'd sing along to the radio - why do you sing in an American accent? I guess it was because a lot of the music I was listening to had American vocalists.
-
I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
-
I just try and surround myself, for the biggest proportion of time that I can, with people who make me feel normal, because constantly feeling abnormal is quite difficult.
-
I want to avoid becoming too styled, too 'done' and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else. They start out with something individual about them, but it gets lost.
-
I think I'm actually in denial that I'm famous, it only sinks in when people crowd in the streets. My friends treat me like a regular person, which is what I wanted.
-
I don't know, I'd love to try some theater. That's my other thing. I'd love to do some Shakespeare.
-
The entertainment industry is pretty nuts, and having had that experience outside of it and going to university has really made a big difference. It's important to me to feel like I have my own life.
-
I've always been fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor, and I had read that her first kiss happened on a film set, which actually made me a little sad. You need to have normal experiences of your own.
-
I just feel like if I start opening the door to talking about my university experience, then people just kind of... own everything. There was a lot of stuff a couple of years ago saying that I was bullied at Brown and awful things like that, none of which were true.
-
It's amazing people get so detached from what they eat and what they wear. No one has any contact with how things are made that are put in their body and put in their mouths and I just find it alarming that no one questions it.
-
I don't have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.
