When Tony was madly in love with me, his relationship with Vanessa Redgrave was ending.

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.

As soon as an actress is past 40, they call her a grande dame. As long as I'm here in good health, I'm stable.

When you live under the power of terror and segregation, you can't ever start a work of art.

How can you say something's important if you don't first withdraw and feel how rich you've become? That way you can become really generous. Otherwise, what do you give?

My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.
