I always loved experimenting in film.

I don't think a Hollywood actor is safe from acting in the rain: it all depends on the film.

But my mother loved The Elephant Man, and my father gave David Lynch a scholarship to study in Rome.

In America, they are paranoid about ruining the reputations of people once they are dead and cannot answer back. They have this fascination which to me seems cruel and morbid. I do not want any part of it

I didn't want to become an actress because the competition with my mother would have been to much to live up to.

If we are completely honest with ourselves, everyone has a dark side to their personalities.

My father used to say that you could only access culture before cinema by learning to read and write, but that once cinema was invented, knowledge was available to anybody.
