This book was company for me - I wrote these things when I was in hotels, far from where I normally live. I never intended to publish it.

I know who I am, how I was. I don't want to know how I will be because nobody knows that.

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.

I love to do very long and complicated scenes.

I was never a dangerous woman. I'm not the prissy blonde woman that could take your husband away.

I admire Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet. I like a lot of comedians. I like Cameron Diaz - she's funny and has a very light spirit. That's quite rare nowadays. There are many actresses I admire.

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn't look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.
