Sienna Rose Miller was born in New York City but raised in London, England. Her father, Ed Miller, was an investment banker, then a Chinese art dealer, joined a cult and wrote a spiritual self-help book. Her mother, Josephine Miller, was a South African model and a personal assistant to David Bowie. She went on to run the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, and then became a yoga instructor. Sienna has one older sister, Savannah. The family moved to Chelsea, London, when Sienna was 18-months-old. Sienna spent her weekends horse riding at her godmothers farmhouse in Wiltshire. When Sienna was age 6, her parents got divorced. Sienna and Savannah moved to Parsons Green with their mother, who was also being treated for breast cancer. Siennas father remarried three times and moved to the Virgin Islands. At age 8, she moved away to Heathfield boarding school in Ascot, where she enjoyed playing Lacrosse and acting. Sienna went back to New York City, when she turned 18, and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Following this, she traveled, modeled, did theater and took bit parts in films. She landed a role as a flirtatious model in a BBC sitcom, "Bedtime" (2001). In 2004, she landed a role in Layer Cake (2004), and followed this with Alfie (2004), Casanova (2005), Factory Girl (2006) and Interview (2007/I).

Sienna Miller Quotes

• I know people compare me to Kate Moss a lot after that media hype started. But its not that Im trying to get her look, truly not. But I like what shes wearing and we seem to share taste to a certain extent.
• Im English, definitely. I dont feel like Im American in any way.
• "Im very happy about it to be really honest! But I think its as a result of being scrutinised because of the relationship that Im in. If it was because of the work, it would be more justified." - On her newfound fame.
• "The secret is to know what youre doing. And then every other person will notice that you know. No matter what Im wearing, I try to always make it look casually, but never arbitrary. Never ostentatious." - On her style secrets.
• Style is definitely a combination of place, occasion, surroundings, body and mood. And to be honest, I sometimes dont spare neither trouble nor expense. Fortunately I can afford to do so now, but style doesnt mean you have to stick to all-brands-looks. The thing is, you cant buy style and you can only slowly learn it.
• Mens traditional view of sexiness isnt sexy. It shouldnt be so obvious: push-up bras and miniskirts? Sexiness, to me, is when people are comfortable with themselves.
• Ive wanted to be an actress for as long as I can remember, and I can say I was almost born in the theatre. My mum went into labour while she was watching the Nut-Cracker Suite in New York - apparently I was kicking like mad.
• I think American men are more conscious of putting up a good impression. Theres more of an earthiness to Englishmen. But Americans arent afraid to come up and say, `Hi, Id like to go out with you. Englishmen are far more sheepish about it.
• I went to an all-girls boarding school for most of my youth. We used to do stupid, fun girly things like pull tights over our faces and streak through the lacrosse pitch. And once I snogged the gardener.
• Im a liberal at heart; I dont want to vote Conservative. Id vote Green, but I know its a wasted vote or whatever, but its the only party with integrity. Im not saying we live in a dictatorship, in a fascist regime, because thats really disrespectful to people who do live in countries that are.
• I dont wish ill on anyone. I genuinely am one of those people who want other people to succeed. Its not a conscious choice, its just the way I am.
• I actually liked that film. But maybe it was because I was falling in love [with co-star Jude Law ] and having a magical time making it. And I loved working with Jude. Hes an incredible actor and taught me a lot. (On Alfie (2004) ).
• Somehow I always end up being scandalous even though I dont mean to. I just find it. If its there, if theres something scandalous lurking, Ill accidentally walk into it.
• She [Edie Sedgwick ] had this luminescence. You cant act that, youre either born with it or youre not. And I think Edie and Marilyn Monroe had that and thats it.
• Everything just happened in the wrong order. I did my first proper film [Alfie (2004) ] where I met Jude and we got together, and then the whole celebrity thing happened before I had any films out. So theres nothing to overshadow the celebrity side of things. But hopefully with all the work that Ive done this year, itll just take the focus off what Im wearing or my relationship or whatever.
• They [the press] want to make you look as normal and disgusting as possible. But Im not going to stop. I refuse to stop living my life the way I want to live it. Im 24 years old.
• Its happiness that makes you glow. Oh, and maybe a touch of fake tan!
• [on her role in Factory Girl (2006) ] Edie Sedgwick was skinnier than I was, so director George Hickenlooper wanted me to lose weight. But I cant work that hard and not eat. Hed come and try to snatch bagels out of my hands.
• [referring to Tippi Hedren ] She said that Hitch could be hilarious and had sides to his character that were wonderful. But she still bears a lot of resentment towards him because having made her career, he then completely destroyed it. Hitch giveth and Hitch taketh away.
• [on Alfred Hitchcock ] Hitch was so controlling. But a crew these days wouldnt stand by and let it just happen. If a director behaved like that nowadays, thered be a sexual harassment lawsuit.
• [talking about Tippi Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock ] He had this clichéd ideal of a woman. He found this amazing woman who had never acted before and thought he could mould her. In his mind, he was creating the perfect woman - he even told Tippi what lipstick to wear. At first she adhered to it, unaware that it was not something that usually happened on a film set. Gradually, he became more and more obsessed with her. Tippi wouldnt play the game. When she refused to reciprocate and stuck to her own moral code, she became unattainable to him. And, of course, the more she became unattainable, the more he wanted her. You always want what you cant have, especially someone like Hitchcock, who had no self-esteem. The fact that he loved this goddess who shunned him confirmed all his worst feelings about himself. So he resolved to make her feel very uncomfortable - for instance, he would recite very crude limericks designed to shock her just as she walked past. He inflicted deep psychological damage on her. He wouldnt work with her after Marnie, but he wouldnt let anyone else work with her, either," says Miller. "She was his, and if he couldnt work with her, then no one else could, either. By the time she was released from her contract after seven years, she had missed her window. You would feel complete resentment about that, wouldnt you?
