Film has always been hard for me, I'm basically a stage actress. I never felt comfortable in front of the camera.

You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have and stop begrudging the ones you never got to make.

Actors are very generous.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

I can't always pick and choose, but I try very hard to take the roles where they are a bit more human. Sometimes there's a hilarious thing that comes along and it might not be the most interesting character, but I'm just delighted to be able to do something.

I'm not an actor who can constantly pick and choose, I try to get the best of what's there.

I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
