Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker seemed so sophisticated and bad. I wanted to be like that.
I think there's a misconception about the industry, that you have to change who you are to look 'cool' in order to succeed, and that's just not true.
People expect you to be doing something cool all the time. In a normal life, that's not happening!
I'm a big fan of all the Boston guys that are acting - Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg - they made a great career out of it, and they found a way to do it and still be cool guys, so that's kind of where I want to be.
I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool. At one company I visited, they held their meetings in a caravan that had somehow been installed in the place, a rather more exotic place to gather than the typical BBC glass box.
I don't have time to worry about looking cool.
I used to be a cool chick but I feel like the paparazzi has taken that away from me, like, the way I used to live my life. I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore.
I kind of had an idea that New York would be like Fashion Week, where everyone always looks incredibly chic and cool, and I wouldn't fit in.
I just want to be as regular, and get by with doing the least amount of publicity, but still look really cool, you know? And get a bit of respect.
