I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

I started so old, so the touring world will always be a foreign land for me. I'll never be someone who's "been on the road."

I was really nervous about people booing, because my mother had gone for a film 20 years earlier and had a terrible time with people booing, whistling, so I knew that in Cannes people can get aggressive.

I was very well paid for my age, and I could make choices, decide not to do a film for six months and wait until I'd get the right thing. Which made me quite a coward.

I was so lucky because I started working very young. And my father was very wealthy and I didn't need to work. I did my films. I was very well paid for my age, and I could make choices, decide not to do a film for six months and wait until I'd get the right thing. Which made me quite a coward, you know. It's so easy to say no to stuff, and then, after a while, it's very hard to go back in.

I was very attached to my family when my father died. I was 19. I was about to go live with my father right when he died, so it was very intense.

Maybe, in the back of my head, I'm thinking I have to do as much as I can. It'll stop.
