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

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'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.

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.

Success as a woman has changed me. That's what I feel is the first thing. When I feel like a successful woman as a rounded human being, then it feeds my work in a broader way so it becomes more interesting.

I have never given up on men easily.

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.
