• "The swordplay in Casanova is beautiful. I'm actually disappointed that there isn't more, I suppose I'm quite violent. I took a stage combat class at school and developed quite a sword collection."
• (When asked about being bullied as a child) "Still to this day I can't place why. I'd actually love to meet myself as a kid and see if I could figure it out."
• "I know people think that acting is not quite the occupation of grown-ups, but it is actually the ultimate learning process: You get a multitude of experiences, all for the price of one life."
• "I think the thing about Anne Boleyn is there is an exotic quality to her. This is a woman who wasn't raised in the English court. She was in the French court and Hapsburg court. She has a continental exotic quality to her. She's quite a fiery woman and incredibly intelligent. So I think Anne really stood out - fire and intelligence and boldness - in comparison to the English roses that were flopping around court, she would've stood out. And Henry noticed that."
• (On Jonathan Rhys Meyers) "Young, incredibly attractive, vibrant male with a lot of energy, a lot of intelligence and wit. Charisma. The parallels just speak. It's method acting - he's cheating! He's got such intensity, such focus. You get drawn in to it - it's easy to play a woman who becomes infatuated with him. He sucks you in. Those eyes and .... it's easy."
Others on Natalie
Jonathan Rhys Meyers - "Natalie is extraordinary. She's such a technician, as an actress. Natalie trained. She's the epitome of when training meets talent in the best way possible. She's naturally gifted and comes alive on camera. It's a fantastic mixture."
Jonathan Rhys Meyers - "Her Anne Boleyn is extraordinary. It's more serious and sensitive."
