I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.

The problem with me in doing things simply is that I feel I'm not enough. It's all very embarrassing.

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.

There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.

I think, being an actress, you know that you're getting old. I'm 44. I mean, an agent said when I turned 40, "It won't get better."

When you fight against your own weaknesses, there's something embarrassing about it.

I didn't go to acting school, so it was great to be able to rehearse for a month or two, to workshop, and be with a director who even gave me acting exercises.
