I am a voyager - and the voyage cannot mean that I stay at home.

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

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.

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

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 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 wouldn't say I was a rebel as such, but I certainly wasn't right at school.
