Characters who are on screen from start to finish are not necessarily the ones who have the greatest impact.

I could live without acting.... Acting is a gift I've received. And I'm grateful for it and I enjoy it. But it's not the main point of my life. It never was.

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

Women will not talk about football unless one of them is in love with a football player, and then suddenly you discover that they know everything that is to be known about it.

I have always had the urge to open forbidden doors: with a curiosity and an obstinacy that verge on masochism.

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.

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