I have no maternal instinct whatsoever. Motherhood holds no interest for me.

I'm not a communist, of course. But I do think that everything is down to economics. Capitalism doesn't change.

All you have to do is to look like crap on film and everyone thinks you're a brilliant actress. Actually, all you've done is look like crap.

When you're 16, 30 seems ancient. When you're 30, 45 seems ancient. When you're 45, 60 seems ancient. When you're 60, nothing seems ancient.

I've always found as an actress that the best thing to do in film or TV or theater is just to lose yourself in it. Think of the story, the character, the worlds we're in, and forget everything else.

I resent having witnessed the survival of some very mediocre male actors and the professional demise of the very brilliant female ones.

I drink just as much tea when I'm in Los Angeles as I do when I'm in London. I take my tea bags with me wherever I go.
