I think I developed a very closed personality. I didn't really have friends. I changed schools every year.

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'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

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.

You don't accept your weaknesses the same way that you love the weaknesses of another artist, because when they make mistakes they don't look like weaknesses.

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."

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