I don't like the idea of separating life and work. That notion seems dated and a bit alien to me.

I have no doubt who I am.

We have so many words for states of mind, and so few words for the states of the body.

It's just as idiotic to say there is no life after death as it is to say there is one.

It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind me and I see the steps. That's where I was.

I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.

What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
