I love being in my garden. I don't plant a lot of exotic flora, but I do spend a lot of time outside doing manual labour.

A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.

I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.

I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.

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

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.

I went to see Oliver Stone's 'Heaven & Earth,' which I thought was a wonderful movie, but I walked out because I was so moved. It was too painful to watch.
