It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time.
I don't want three million people digesting my private life over their cornflakes.
Some actors get fired up by the sound of the audience. I just want to retreat.
You can love more than one person in your life, but things will be different. There'll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change.
I’m the same weight now as I’ve always been-even before having children-but I have to say there’s been a redistribution of the flesh!
I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.
I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.
I've always kept fit but I've been doing gym and yoga and will be throwing my stilettoes away for a while!

I am not a fanatic about anything. I do what I can do when I've got the time.

I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.
Everyone has class, one class or another.
Everything is about class in England, whether it's upper, lower or middle. Why should that be?
Exposure makes you famous, not just good work. Famous is being plastered everywhere.
I'll dance to anything: Bob Marley or rap.
I was asked to be in Vogue but I said no. I didn't want to advertise make-up. I didn't want to be seen as a sex symbol.
I was always going to be a dancer - I drifted into acting.
I used to suffer from excessive pride. Well, I got over that one.
I am not going to share my private life with millions of people. I don't find a need to do that and nobody else close to me does either.
From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.
