When I have my moments of insomnia, youll find me on style.com.

I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.

My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.

You do get scrutinized in the digital age. You know they're zooming in on every pore, which you've got to forget about.

I just don't see myself as the heroine in my own narrative.

That's definitely true! It was before my father died, so I can't attribute it to an obsession with death. When I was seven, I loved those old Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone. The Scarlet Claw was one of my faves. And I loved all the Halloween's and that film about the haunted house... Burnt Offerings, with Oliver Reed. Every birthday party was a slumber party and we'd watch horror films.

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