England as a culture has endured so much more than America has as a culture, so it's given them a different perspective.

Well, I have a band, Sadie and the Hotheads, and we have an album that is already out that is available on our website.

I can't just sit around thinking how lucky I am.

It's peaceful for people to know how their lives are going to be, pretty much.

My family were all into classical music, and I found that very intimidating.

I miss sometimes the buzz of America. A sense that anything can change at the drop of a hat. In a way, it's an exhausting thing to live with.

Now we have to contend with overstimulation and too many opportunities all the time, and too many decisions all the time.

As far as I can see women who have facelifts don't look younger, just weirder. You see them on screen with these tight, little porcelain faces - then the hand goes up to the face and it looks like it belongs to an alien. I find it really freaky.

I've found acting on stage much more challenging than on screen.

It's very tough when two creative people are together.

We lack rituals in this modern world.

Whenever I work on anything, there's always the fantasy that what one is doing is the next 'Citizen Kane'-slash-'Sopranos.'
