If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you're solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion.

My mother was a very natural woman. She never spoiled herself, never wore make-up, and wore modest jewellery, but she always had a few special items for when she wanted to feel like a lady. One of those special items - and I remember it because it seemed so elegant - was her Guerlain powder.

Not many people know this about me, but I'm a natural blonde. My hair went from light blonde naturally to a darker kind of blonde. My mother dyed my hair dark when I was a child, as I loved the look then. So I'm basically a natural blonde.

War is so complex; human nature is so complex. There's no filmmaker who has ever figured it out perfectly.

When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered. Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility.

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

I don't like perfumes that are too strong or sweet. I like a fragrance that is earthy and sensual and can be worn at any time.

I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry... but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.

Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable!

I've learned that we all change constantly. It's rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow.

Just be a cool grandpa who's creative, and hang out and tell stories and read a book in the library.

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.
