It's one of the functions of the theater to shock and titillate and appall, apart from entertain and delight.

I'm crazy about the Coen brothers, I'm crazy about Sean Penn. I love the usual suspects like Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep and people like that.

One of the things you learn at drama school is not to play the result, but just to play the moment.

Sexism is alive and well! We were saying this forty years ago. I'm an optimist, so I like to think we've progressed in some ways - in Australia, we get equal pay.

David Michôd changed my life, quite literally, along with the chaps at Sony Pictures Classics. That's what set me on my way.

I love when I am not typecast. I've been acting for 50 years. I was such a baby face; I was playing children until I was in my 30s, which frustrated me enormously. Now that I am 65 and getting to play women in their 50s, I am getting paid back for having to play children for so long.
