“I'm not a massive believer in marriage. I think my own biography is testament to that.”

“I have a very simple morality. It's to be kind to people.”

“What I find is that you can do almost anything or behave in any way you want, and there's a certain percentage of people who are just going to hate you.”

“My whole life has been a tissue of lies, and I'm very proud of it.”

“I'm a laugh tart. I make no secret of that.”

“Suddenly, you're a granny, and you're younger than you were when you were a leading man.”

“It's a real problem, you know, when you're a writer and you're a writer who writes about people... You get into the habit of it, you see something, and you think, 'Ooh, I could use that.'”

“I'm a complete pessimist. I'm a miserable and self-destructive person.”

“I'm much more of a writer than I am an actor. I've only ever really been happy when I'm writing.”

“There's a terrible temptation to be nice to people. I don't know whether I'm a nice person, but I have a lot of nice friends.”

“I find it very difficult to be a good parent. I'm not a natural.”

“I'm not a good actor, I'm a fluke. It's a bit of a con.”
