I've never got on with the British press because they've always given me such a hard time. Once they build a band up they just want to do people down. They shouldn't concentrate on the colour of someone's shirt they should listen to the music.
When I was in England doing Romeo and Juliet as a child star, I was interviewed by the British press, who are even more vicious and cruel than the Americans. So I have been extremely guarded ever since.
We've always been slammed by most of the British press. They probably hate us because we're too normal and incredibly honest.
In Britain, they have a lot of laws to protect you, and we enforce them very strongly so that our children can stay private figures, and the British press leave us alone, which is great. It means we can go on the Tube into the centre of London because it's quicker and more fun for the kids. We can do normal things.
I've always worked on the fringe of the British press establishment, carving out this niche for myself.
When I came to Britain I was in awe of the British press, afraid of them. But they're not as ferocious as people think. In some instances they are, but when it comes to taking on power they're really deferential.
I like the best of the British press. The best of the British press is very good.
The British press are a group of unremitting scumbags. And sometimes they use that scumbaggery to good ends, and often not.
The British press has been unfair to me and the public has followed.
I'm not going to make general comments about the British press.
