The woman's position in the world today is so much harder than a man's that it makes me choke every time I hear a man complain about anything.

The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.

In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.

I would have been a terrible mother because I'm basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.

I won't go to a restaurant to eat with friends, always join them afterwards for coffee. In company I always get over enthusiastic, and this leads to indigestion.

It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
