EMILY BLUNT

I'm such a diva on set.

It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.

Americans are a lot more open, of course. There's something more declamatory in the way you express emotions. It's a stereotype but it's true. British people can appear repressed in expressing emotions. Not very good at self-evaluating, or affirming situations, touching, anything like that.

When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.

I'm not much of a crier but it is mildly soul-destroying and exposing to do something physical that you are terrible at in front of other people.

Give us a break! I've hardly done anything but independent films.

You can go at the premiere it's at Disneyland.

I almost broke my coccyx on 'The Wolf Man', and I banged my head once. I had to fall really hard.

I had a non-existent knowledge of Queen Victoria's early years. Like everyone else, I thought of her as an old lady dressed in black. My mom had told me about her, though, that she had a very loving relationship with Albert, that they had lots of kids, and that he died young.

I'm a big supporter of Joe Johnston and I think that 'Captain America' is going to be really fun and I gather that the story is really interesting. It just wasn't what I wanted to do next, to be honest.

I would love to be on Broadway!

It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.

I'm Sudafed-ed up, but it's alright because I'm having to do this rather sultry scene, so maybe it's OK that my voice is three octaves lower.

It's a big chip on my shoulder that I have not been to any of his parties - P. Diddy, Diddy Puff. But he was super nice to me. And he does look sharp, that guy. Doesn't ever go wrong with a suit.

After this interview, I'm going to immigration to try to sort out my Green Card, just like any other normal person.

The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.

I'm not someone who likes to plan too much ahead.

I think I'm drawn to characters with complexity or who are under duress in some way and have some conflict going on.

With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.

Personally, I'm an advocate for short engagements. Long sometimes means there is a reason for it. Two years engaged and no wedding... I'd be upset.

I think for me the job always has to be the right thing at the right time.

I'm on a health kick! I'm drawn to cheeseburgers, so I've got to just try and keep it on an even keel.

People just want to know something, anything. It's all the stuff you never want to talk about, the private stuff.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.
