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.

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.

When I'm playing a part, I can feel all my body playing it; it's like really making love.

There are a lot of films where I play characters that are about the windows to the interior person rather than the exterior.

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.

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

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.
