I was a very bad student. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew I didn't want to go farther in school. I hated school and was always the bad one; I was always insulting the teachers.

I feel better in my body now than when I was 20. Why not?

The press follow me. I sue them. That's the deal.

It is not easy to grow old in this business, when you are a woman above all, in the cinema.

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.

I can't just react on the strength of an email and three pages of synopsis, and say I'm going to take off for three months of my life.

I'm less desperate now to express what's inside me, that's true - I act these days because it keeps me awake and interested, an eternal student.
