I think the terrifying thing is you see all these people who go to the same cosmetic surgeon, and they end up, after a while, looking like everyone.

In the current climate, things that are true, brave human stories become political.

If you age with somebody, you go through so many roles - you're lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, strangers; you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is, if you're with your soulmate.

The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?'

Onscreen, babies and animals are my inspiration. They're so alive and there and not messed up in the head the way I am.

My husband keeps me really honest.

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to be silent, to not speak if you don't have anything to say.
