I was born with a need to be the center of attention, and, of course, you're the center of the world when you're acting

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 regret that I wasn't the kind of person who could enjoy celebrity. It embarrassed me too much.

I don't think men see any lusty sexiness in me. The appealing thing is an air of abandonment. Men don't want any responsibility, and neither do I.

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

I don't think I would have been a good mother. Being a parent brings immense responsibility. It's a Herculean task. It would be almost too much for me.

I think there has always been an obsession with youth and beauty. What's missing is the equal obsession with respect for…older people…and their wisdom and knowledge and courage.
