Never fall out of love with life

In the theatre you can change things ever so slightly; it's an organic thing. Whereas in film you only have that chance on the day, and you have no control over it at all.

My husband was actually very keen that I would become a Bond girl.

People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.

The need for a global structure of control in the form of a world environment court is now more urgent than ever before.

I don't really want to retire. I intend to go on working as long as I can because I still have a huge amount of energy.

I'm always fearful. … Fear generates in you a huge energy. You can use it. When I feel that mounting fear, I think, 'Oh, yes, there it is!' It's like petrol.
