I only like boutiques.

I remember being married to John Barry and trying to be the best wife in the world.

Any film I see at two o'clock in afternoon with my mother seems to cast a strange spell that means we both come out sobbing.

When I was at school I used to scream in trains, in those concertina things between the carriages. I used to try to be so good that sometimes I couldn't bear it any more.

My mother was right: When you've got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust.

I understand the joy of having a female actress like Charlotte [Gainsbourg] and watching her give everything, and be able to capture it.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.
