Rome is the capital of Europe; it’s as simple as that. You need to see what the Romans did 2,000 years ago. They were so advanced compared to the rest of the world. They showed us how to make roads, toilet seats, how to do irrigation, and more. When you see the Colosseum you won’t believe it was built so long ago.
I was really nerdy. Compared with my sisters, I often felt like a boring person because I lived so much in my head and in books.

Some of the best songs that I know are the ones I haven’t written yet, and it doesn’t even matter if I don’t ever write them, because it’s only small potatoes compared with the big picture.
I may be the only actress in Hollywood who won’t need a face lift, because when I take off my makeup, I look so great compared to my characters!

Compared to other clubs, what we’ve achieved under Gerard Houllier is exceptional.
There’s a tendency to locate the cliche of the ‘strong woman’ exclusively in the present day, as if those many women who endured such inconveniences as the Depression and the Second World War were porcelain compared to, say, Amy Schumer.

I think anytime any record is compared to Tiger, it’s always going to be good.
I often compared myself with a slave. Slaves were taken forcibly from Africa, and so was I. Slaves were sold a couple of times on their way to their final destination, and so was I. Slaves suddenly were assigned to somebody they didn’t choose, and so was I.
I don’t like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I’m a teen actress and therefore I’m competing against Hilary Duff. We’re different people like everyone else.

I think I’ve only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.
Compared to the other work I’ve done on TV, ‘Breaking Bad’ was funny. In the beginning, I described it as a dark comedy.

Britain has bred many great explorers, but they seem to get so little coverage compared to soccer and rugby players.
Especially, I don’t want to ever be compared to The Rock because I’d be the poor man’s version of The Rock. I’m just not him; it’s not who I am as a person or as a performer. The Rock’s very big and bold, and I’m not.

There are probably people who think I’m crazy for doing what I’m doing and they’re probably right. Compared to them, compared to the way they think and feel and are so bound by norms then I am crazy, but insane or enlightened, it’s all pretty close. I would say it’s just how you look at it.
