I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

There is an eternal humanity that crosses through all people, and it's more interesting often when it's about struggle - not people with champagne glasses.

I'm quite happy being myself. I'm a big fan of Jessica Lange and Jeanne Moreau, but I don't want to be anyone else.

To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.

I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.

At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.

My looks are changing obviously, so I fuss like any woman if I look tired or whatever, I put on weight and blah, blah. But some part of me is very relaxed with it all.
