There are many, many benefits to being known for whatever it is you do. To deny that would be sort of asinine and vulgar.

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

I don't want to be boring. But that's not always easy.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

I know I have a fairly strong feminine side. I find myself really distanced from male behavior.

If I hear a film clip, or I happen to see some image from a film - you go to a film festival, and they show some clip of the movies you've been in, most of the time I sit there and go, "Oh God, I should have... should have... that was terrible." But I think that's a natural part of this work, because really, your work is never over. Of course I can leave it alone and walk off the set and never think about it again when it's done. But your work is really ongoing all the time.

One doesn't know if one had a happy childhood or not. I don't really know what it means.
