It's funny to be discovered by a lot of people who didn't know you before. People always used to say 'Do you shop at Home Depot?' or 'Does your kid go to such and such school?' They want to know why they know me even if they don't know my name. I don't think that's a bad thing by the way I think it's nice to be kind of anonymously famous.

1 Age

  • 1. No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
  • 2. I was always obsessed with being famous. I had Marilyn Monroe paper dolls as a child and I was always obsessed with her. I've just been really driven in that direction and none of my friends were. So I don't know what put that bug in me at a young age.
  • 3. Why do people talk of the horrors of old age? It's great. I feel like a fine old car with the parts gradually wearing out but I'm not complaining … Those who find growing old terrible are people who haven't done what they wanted with their lives.

2 Amazing

  • 1. 'Twilight' is such an amazing project and I think it opened up doors for all of us cast members.
  • 2. Being on 'Glee' was amazing. I remember my first day on set my first day I arrived to the set I was in my trailer and all of the actors came and banged on my door – Lea Michele Chris Colfer Amber Riley Naya Rivera. They all welcomed me with open arms so it was a great experience. It felt like family and I miss them a lot over there.
  • 3. I put the costume on and said 'It's not very comfortable but it looks amazing ' so it's all good.

3 Anger

  • 1. I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.
  • 2. I did not want to put myself on the line as an Australian playing Britain's greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive possessive – and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger – or my own reputation.
  • 3. My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today's music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready I think I would have rather been watching.
  • 2. Perhaps a hundred people assembled one evening May 15 1876 at the time when the country was celebrating the hundredth anniversary of its political independence.
  • 3. The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly.

5 Architecture

  • 1. Of course I know very little about architecture and the older I get the less I know.
  • 2. The process I go through in the art and the architecture I actually want it to be almost childlike. Sometimes I think it's magical.
  • 3. Form follows profit is the aesthetic principle of our times.
