The cliche is that life is a mountain. You go up, reach the top and then go down.

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.

Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.

If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.

As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.

I know there were things emanating from me. I was not aware of what attracted all these directors to me.

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