I think it's the same simple thing for everyone - to be happy, and have love in your life.

A director could be 20 years old and an actor 60, or vice versa; it doesn't matter. It's about connecting sensibility and energy together, and having a vision that goes together and anchors the film as you go along.

I have stories that I'd like to maybe one day consider directing, but you need a lot of time to write and put it together.

Being a famous actress may give you a sense of being important, but believe me, it's just an illusion.

I like travelling and if I have to come to Hollywood to make a movie I will, but otherwise I'd never move there. It's very much an industry town and that doesn't really interest me.

I am not a woman staying at home.

Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.
