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

I love to do very long and complicated scenes.

Polanski was very precise. I think he still is.

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.

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.

It is very fashionable for good-looking ladies to say how hard it is to be beautiful, but that's not true. There are times when itdepresses and bothers me to see just how easy things are made for a beautiful woman.

People expect a lot more from someone they think looks interesting. It's a burden.
