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

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

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.

Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her, and one for them together.

At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.

Marriage has just never interested me.

I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.
