The earliest memories I have from my childhood are of my mum getting ready to go on stage. I must have been about five and I would watch her vomiting backstage on opening night, and then the next minute she became Isabella, the Queen of Spain. At the time I remember thinking, 'What kind of schizophrenic job is this?' Now it all makes sense.

I will work with a director who has good material because at the end of the day, that's what counts.

When you're working with the best, it helps you to be good because then you are focusing on what you have to do.

You don't need a man, you need a champion.

I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.

We actors always say how difficult and physically demanding a role was. But give me a break, it's only a movie.
