 Every character I do is based on someone I know. |
| I wish I could believe that one person could make a difference. |
| I never wanted to do political satire because it seems too surface to me. |
| I used to dress up and impersonate our next-door neighbor, Miss Cox. She wore rubber boots, a wool hat, and her nose always dripped. |
| I'm not a crazy, party-going sort of person. |
| As I get older, I just prefer to knit. |
| The show I did in England catered to a broad range of people. I like that. I don't want nouveau cult status, though I know we've got that sort of audience in the states. |
| I've never looked ahead very much in my life. I've never had any grand plan from the outset. I had no burning ambition to do what I do. |
| I'm usually put off by performers when they get political. |
| There are different types of love, and my love for my child is like me and my mum. We've gone through a lot of rocky patches, but we never stop loving. |
| I like going to France, because no one knows who I am. |
| It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in. |
| I'm as famous as I want to be. |
| I don't get very involved in the L.A. scene. When you do get invited out, you are expected to be on all the time. It's just wearying. |
| You become so encapsulated in this world of being a star. People listen to what you say, you have this voice, it becomes unreal and you become far removed from the people you came from. |
| It makes you more open, it gives you perspective, having a child. |
| I love John Waters. There's stuff in it that's beyond the boundaries of my taste, but his movies have always been like that. |
| As you get older, you realize it's work. It's that fine line between love and companionship. But passionate love? I'd love to know how to make that last. |
| It's the poignancy and sadness in things that gets to me. |
| Work is important to me. I want to do things for principle, not just for the sake of doing them. |
