Sienna: Celebrity was never my goal - Dec 11 2006
Her on-off relationship with Jude Law made her an overnight celebrity, but Sienna Miller says that was not her goal.
"I was just never desperate to be famous, which I know sounds cliched and probably like a lie, but it is, in my case, very true," the 24-year-old actress says in the January issue of W magazine.
"And that’s the irony of my situation."
She added: "It was always about acting, and now it’s all about everything but that. I fell in love with someone very, very famous, and that’s beyond all of our control.
"Strategically I probably could have analysed it at the time and thought, ’This could potentially be very damaging’, but that was a very beautiful period of my life."
Miller, a fashion icon and Hollywood It Girl, reportedly broke off her engagement to Law last year after he publicly apologised for cheating on her following reports that he had a fling with the nanny of his three children from his marriage to fashion designer-actress Sadie Frost.
She says the 33-year-old actor remains "a very close person in my life".
"It just becomes this soap opera," she says, recalling the media attention. "And I guess I had a pretty good few episodes."
Miller stars as Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick in the forthcoming movie Factory Girl.
"I know that I have a lot to prove to a certain degree, but it’s fine," said Miller, whose screen credits include roles in Layer Cake, Alfie, which starred Law, and Casanova, opposite Heath Ledger.
Jude and Sienna split again? - Nov 13 2006
Jude Law and Sienna Miller have apparently ended their turbulent on/off relationship for good.
The 33-year-old star and stunning Sienna - who have been dating on and off for three years - agreed to end their romance after deciding they no longer had a future together, according to the Daily Mirror.
A source told the newspaper there’s little chance of a reconciliation and blamed "fundamental differences" in their approaches to life for the break-up.
"Jude and Sienna decided it was over last week. It was a mutual agreement. It is very sad for both of them," a pal said.
Cold Mountain star Jude and 24-year-old Sienna split last year after the actor admitted having an affair.
He then publically apologised but the Layer Cake actress called off their eight-month engagement and dumped him.
The lovers were then reunited but have had an on/off romance since then.
Sienna denies temper tantrum - Oct 13 2006
Sienna Miller today vigorously denied reports that she made a scene after being asked for ID at a bar in Pittsburgh, the US city to which she has already apologised for making derogatory comments about it in an interview.
The owner of Folino’s Young’s Tavern claimed the actress threw a "temper tantrum" when she was asked to leave the watering hole because she could not prove her age. But the actress - who enraged residents when she last week called the Pennsylvania location "Sh*tsburgh" in an interview with Rolling Stone - said she "wholeheartedly" refuted the allegations and had at least 10 witnesses who could back her up.
Her father Edwin Miller, who was with her, said the story was "total fabrication".

Sienna’s parents divorced rather early in her life and she moved to England with her mother, where Jo took on the job of running London’s Lee Strasberg drama school.
Sienna spent most of her adolescent life at Heathfield School, a boarding school in Ascot. On her return to London she enrolled at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
Early theatre performances were on the stages of New York and include The Striker, Independence and Cigarettes & Chocolate, directed by Anthony Minghella, who’s famous for helming the movie The English Patient (1996).
In New York she was ’spotted’ by Select Modeling agency, she continued to model on her return to England.
After starring in a few underrated television shows, Paramount Pictures signed her up to a seven-year contract. It was following this that she began to grab a few roles in some big budget silver screen productions, including Layer Cake, Alfie and Casanova.
After co-starring in Alfie together, Sienna began a relationship with one of the UK’s hottest men, Jude Law, and it is mostly this soapbox of a relationship that bagged her the most column inches.
Sienna went on to play Celia in a West End stage production of As You Like It, fulfilling a life times ambition - however not to great acclaim.
In 2006 she finished filming Factory Girl, in which she plays Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgewick.
