My looks haven't prevented me from playing prostitutes or people broken by life. But when they need a token blonde with big breasts, that's OK, too. It's part of the game.

In Hollywood there's no real material. They would send me stuff, but I hadn't even seen the director. If I don't see the director's eyes, I'm not going. I'm not even going to pack my bags.

The body, in 'La Belle Noiseuse,' was the source of the artist's creativity.

Once I opened my eyes to the realities of life, I couldn't close them.

You may think of me as an object of desire and I'm going to tell you that I can be in front of you naked and not be erotic.

I played football when I was little. I didn't want to be an actress at all, I wanted to be a majorette in an Australian circus. That was my ambition.

It is not easy to age in harmony with one's roles.
