So often when you meet child actors, they're weird - they're freaks. No, I mean it, they're really odd people.

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

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

If you're constantly frightened of being unhappy, how bloody exhausting must that be?

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.

It's what people create that makes my heart stop.

America is such a nation of suppressed emotion, and when you arrive in L.A., you can smell the fear. It's the most alien country I've ever been to.
