A woman has to be intelligent, have charm, a sense of humor, and be kind. It's the same qualities I require from a man.

If you try to measure the future, you will never risk the present. Playing it safe. A ghastly game.

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.

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

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

Sometimes, just to give the impression that you have the strength and the vitality demands a lot. You can't always give that impression when you have heels and a wig on and it's 40 degrees outside.

Even if there are a lot women in films, there are few who are lesbians, that people know about.
