I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.

I was excited that my films would finally see the light of day and people would see them. But I never imagined that such nice things would be said about a lot of my films.

I don't want to be in my car all day. I love getting up in the morning in Venice and walking my dogs down to the café to get my tea, and then perhaps going to a bookstore and sitting and reading, then walking to the beach.

It's tough, acting. You have to walk two lines of a tightrope. There's the all-consuming fear of failure: I'm about to fall flat on my face. There's that and there's also confidence - you have to be confident in order to try things - and they fight each other all the time.

I try not to fake anything.

I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."
