I have been involved in some films other actresses would not have done.

When you're young, you try to meet that expectation that people have of you. It can be very stressful. But with time it's become less of problem.

I think one of the few times I've been involved with real-life characters was the story of Marie Bonaparte. I think it's really difficult to become someone that really existed.

I'm not always the nicest person to meet, because I forget very easily that I'm an actress when I'm not working.

To wait, for an actor, is not like someone who's waiting to see the doctor. It's not the kind of wait where you get bored.

At a certain age, you have to choose between your face and your ass.

I'm afraid of being too sure, to just deliver. I think that's the biggest danger for actors - after a certain time, when you're known and recognised, people expect you to do what you're supposed to do, and there's almost no more criticism and that's very dangerous.
