I have a strong sense of responsibility. I like to be directed, it's true. If I didn't like that, I'd do something else.

Even if a woman is abused a very long time ago, it comes out in her life in a negative way.

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

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 like some of the early silent films because I love to watch how actors had to play then. What would interest me today is to do a silent film.

I wouldn't say no to being in a film with Jude Law. I love English actors.

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.
