I find a lot of young filmmakers make too much of an effort to be trendy and they can be pretentious.

It is so important that you don't stay with someone just for the children and for the wrong reasons.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage.

I find a lot of young filmmakers make too much of an effort to be trendy and they can be pretentious.

I've concentrated for a long time on English films because I've got two kids but my oldest son is 11 and I think I'm going to be away for about four months of year now.

At home it's all Batman and Star Wars and they do gang up on me. Sometimes I don't want to dress up as Darth Vader or play train sets, so I'll go out for a drink with the girls.

I'm playing a very strong character, it's the story of the woman Polish Jews out of the Warsaw ghetto. I've just begun my weapons training and the SAS type training that's getting me fit.

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.

I haven't done an international film for a long time.

I always wear flat shoes, because I can't walk in anything else.

When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who's incredibly serene, I can't seem to stop sleeping because she's asleep all the time. It's a pattern.

Just to be remembered is good enough for me. Lots of people are forgotten.

I'm the kind of person who'll have a few drinks and fall asleep at 11.

There are people out there who want me to fail, who want Jude to fail, who want our relationship to fail.

From 16 years old, I wanted to have a baby, that's all I wanted.

I really enjoy making dinner for my kids and my husband - chopping ginger and marinating the tofu.

I want to get up at 6 A.M. and go swimming and do 30 lengths.

I'm a strong woman.

I've never worn fur, either. I'm a naturally squeamish person, and fur smells like dead animal to me.

If the kids did want to get into showbiz then so be it, but I would never project anything on to my children.

My kids inspire me to be the person I am today - without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

My style is scruffy with a touch of androgyny.

Socialism proposes no adequate substitute for the motive of enlightened selfishness that today is at the basis of all human labor and effort, enterprise and new activity.

Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and effort will take them - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or economic circumstances.

When families observe a later, deeper stage of cult involvement they may find it necessary to consider the involvement of a professional such as myself in an intervention effort.

Much effort, much prosperity.

No one will deny that the excessive use of alcohol and alcoholic beverages would do more than any other single factor to make impossible a total war effort.

I'm not the type of person who goes through all this effort for a movie, and then doesn't care if anybody sees it. I want them to see it, and I want them to see it on the big screen.

It wasn't my plan to create such a record. All I did was put in the effort to win every match I played and it went on for weeks, months and years until my defeat to Ross Norman in Toulouse in 1986.

Periods of wholesome laziness, after days of energetic effort, will wonderfully tone up the mind and body.

I'm always making a conscious effort to be viable and accessible.

A strenuous effort must be made to train young people to think for themselves and take independent charge of their lives.

I know, to banish anger altogether from one's breast is a difficult task. It cannot be achieved through pure personal effort. It can be done only by God's grace.

Sport is the habitual and voluntary cultivation of intensive physical effort.

The Russians obtained a number of plants under Lend-Lease, which had been authorized by Washington, that I thought were not justified for their war effort. They wanted them for postwar use.
