I was a real art freak when I was a teenager.

Actually, I'm looking forward to being 50. Because to me, that's when a woman is at the pinnacle of her femininity and her womanhood.

I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.

What really matters to me is what my peers think.

I've often sat down with people talking about a film I've been in, and they haven't realized I was in it.

My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to change enormously in order to become a parent.

I use my awards as doorsteps. Others are in the office or in little cubbyholes in our library – they go between the books, because they actually look like arty pieces
