There comes a point where it doesn’t matter how many zeroes are at the end of your bank account.

Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I’m the only person who can’t understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they’re not that great. These are questions everyone has.

Maybe it’s because I’m English, but in terms of how people perceive us I only pick up on the negative side of it.

Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don’t think about until there’s a problem.

You know, it’s possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.

I get more people approaching me about how good I was in ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ than being in Coldplay.

In Los Angeles, they don’t want you to fail, they want you to die.

I’ve got to the point now where I can poke some fun at my old image and really enjoy letting go when a juicy role comes along.

Man, I have had so much plastic surgery, I don’t even recognize myself, sometimes. If I catch a glimpse in a window or something, I think it is someone else.

[asked about the ways she is discriminated against] I get discriminated against in three ways: I get discriminated against because I’m blond, I get discriminated against because I’m an actress and I get discriminated against because I’m from the South.

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you

There’s so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way. By using my career as the wind in the sails of my adventures, I could see so many things and so many people that I might have missed had my career gone a different direction.

Boys love being bossed around by me tho…

I think for women especially, you need to have a plan. I need to have some other ways to generate income, so I don’t have to stretch my face or lift the top of my head with surgery or something.

Most of the time you’re too busy to think about it. But every now and then you say, ‘I work at ‘Saturday Night Live ‘ and that is so cool.

I sing and dance as well, and I would like to do the whole Hilary Duff thing.

I’d make a better U.S. President than George W. Bush. Bush is an idiot. I’m a better public speaker than him. It makes you wonder about the voters.

A recent study announced that 52 per cent of all teens who sign virginity pledges recant them within twelve months. If I’m on my game.

The crowds treat me like my last name. When I go onstage people usually stand up, I never ask them to, but they do. They stand up and they don’t know how much I appreciate it.

[on Matthew McConaughey] He was always taking his shirt off, he’s like Yeah, here’s my deal, I’m hot.” We had a meeting one day at like 11 o’clock, right before the show and he walks into the meeting shirtless wearing this like old musty sarong… He doesn’t smell great, no.
