I don't like people who use the press to advance themselves in a way that they haven't earned as an actor, performer or director.

Journalists don't have audiences - they have publics who can respond instantly and globally, positively or negatively, with a great deal more power than the traditional letters to the editor could wield.

I never used the press for anything except my charity.

I just never, in my career, got into doing a lot of press.

Things are rarely as exciting or dramatic as we make them out to be in the press.

The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press.

I've chosen not to talk about my really private life to the press - I've never invited a huge amount of attention.

Honestly, everybody gets talked about. Some people control their press a little more than others. Some people feed the press and move it the way they want to. I don't do that.

There's a longstanding tradition that journalists don't cheer in the press box. They have opinions, like anyone else, but they are expected to keep those opinions out of their work.

I'm not going to make general comments about the British press.
