People say as a woman actor your career is over at 40. But then they told me I would never work again after I was 16.

I don't need to be Tom Cruise. I just need to work forever.

I really did feel like I was surrounded by family members. I didn't have a dad, and I remember there were all these guys - in the old days, there were no women, except a makeup artist or, occasionally, a script supervisor. So there were just guys who taught me how to, you know, whittle wood, or how to pull focus, and what the camera was doing. And if I was being bratty, they'd sit me down and tell me. There were lots of rules about not being late and making sure that you didn't spill anything. So it felt a little bit like I was in a family.

If you had been a public figure from the time you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, than maybe to you might value privacy above all else. I have given everything up there from the time that I was three-years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?

People are always surprised when I say that I'm an atheist.

I prefer to commit 100 per cent to a movie and make fewer films, because it takes over your life.

I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.
