There were some films I refused because the feminist aspect was a bit wonky.

I never dreamed I'd like any city as well as London. San Francisco is exciting, moody, exhilarating. I even love the muted fogs.

I remember becoming aware of women's issues and inequality. It became glaringly clear to me when I was living in America that women are regarded as less intelligent than men.

I think I've got something when I'm onscreen, but that's nothing to do with acting or talent

As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.

I'd never been content in America

It takes me time to realize things; I'm a speedy person but a slow thinker.
