1. I’ve never been a size zero, let me say that here and now. I’ve never been that sort of person.

18. If anyone out there wants me to play a Pre-Raphaelite character, I’d do it in a flash. That’s what is so curious about my playing a modern doctor. It’s not the sort of part I saw for myself when I began acting.
