I have nothing to complain about.. except maybe people wondering if a queen like me can be butch-it-up enough to play a convincing straight man.
To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.
I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.
From my point of view, being out is not about anything political. It's just because I can't be bothered to be in.
Madness is a prerequisite of being in showbusiness.
I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.
We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.
I don't think kids should have role models. They're disastrous.
I don't think many actors are that good, to be honest. I certainly don't think I am.
There'll be a black lesbian in the White House before I'm James Bond.
I don't accept my business the way it is, to be honest. I don't like what it's become. I don't blame anyone for it becoming the way it has. It's got its own hideous natural progression, just like world events.
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 smell of sweat. I don't like people smelling of all these weird things. I think deodorant is disgusting.
I don't want to be carried out of a club wearing a tie-dye T-shirt and a cap on the wrong way around when I am 70, but I would like to settle down a bit. Maybe with a partner.
To be a soldier one needs that special gene, that extra something, that enables a person to jump into one on one combat, something, after all, that is unimaginable to most of us, as we are simply not brave enough.
As a kid I would be put to bed when my parents had guests and because I was such a show-off I would go to my mum's room, put on her nightdress and Jackie Onassis shawl, run downstairs, go outside, ring the doorbell and pretend to be one of the guests. I'd say, 'Hello, I'm Mrs. So-and-So.
I'm a sex machine to both genders. It's all very exhausting. I need a lot of sleep.
Hmm... Death by mini bar, how glamorous.
I went to boarding school at seven and cried and cried.
I can't think of anything worse than being brought up by two gay dads.
What's happened to humour? We're becoming American. Everyone gets so angry over everything.
Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one, let me tell you.
The interesting thing about Sherlock is that he is himself a reflection of that very English duality. As a drug addict, he is a criminal. But he is also a crime fighter. That makes him an extremely potent character to personify the hypocrisy of a culture that is both moralistic and corrupt.
I think belief is like having the first Microsoft Windows - it's so rudimentary, in the human brainwork, it's so obviously a sham.
Honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out.
