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.

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention

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.

The little things that made up the fabric of the first six years of my life were suddenly ripped away, and I didn't have anyone around me who loved me. Not one single person.

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've never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure

I see stardom very clearly as a construct that's been created in order to sell things.
