• "Yes, I have breasts. So does 50% of the population. Do we really have to waste time talking about mine? I don't think so."




• "I was like, wait a minute, you're doing a pirate movie - something that hasn't worked in about 50 years - and it's based on an amusement park ride!"




• "I'm a tomboy beanpole? I can't use a computer, so maybe I'm a bit out of the loop. I don't know whether to be flattered or not flattered. The beanpole bit, is that good? Can you be a sexy beanpole?"




• "I don't read any magazines or newspapers any more, because I find it really scary and I get really scared when I'm followed by photographers. I have, on many occasions, broken down in tears because I find it terrifying. I dropped out of school when I was 16 so there's nothing else that I can do."




• "I’m doing a film now with a lot of guys as well, so at the end of that I will be growing a beard."




• "I finished filming Pirates a couple of days before my 18th birthday, and made sure I was in London to celebrate it. There's no point having an 18th birthday in America, it doesn't mean anything as you can't go out and drink"




• "They have made me look a total babe on the front"




• "I met Barbara Walters backstage and didn't know who she was. She's an American phenomenon, I was told later. I'm just so English."
