It's funny, this thing about happiness. It's a commodity that was imported from America in the Fifties. I see myself simply as living my life. . . . I feel it's pushing your luck to define how happy you are.

I used to suffer from excessive pride. Well, I got over that one.

I don't need a piece of paper to suggest that I can commit myself.

I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

I don't really have an image of myself. Now, is that true? Well, maybe I do and it's different, which is why I get shocked when I see how other people experience me. I see myself primarily in a domestic setting.

There is not enough celebration of companionship. Relationships aren't just about eroticism and sexuality.

Everyone has class, one class or another.
