I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.

There's something so muffled about the way you experience things. It's as if you were trying to slip through life unchanged.

One of the things I do tell young women, if they want to pursue a career in acting, is to get good stage training. It is essential to have a good basis in stage technique. You can move into film easily, and acquire more skill and more understanding, but you can't necessarily go the other way around. For women, longevity of career will very much be on stage.

I don't really go to YouTube or, especially, participate in Facebook. I just really don't want to know that many people!

Everyone must find a capacity in which they can serve, because we all benefit from society.

I think Europeans have enough tradition and respect for the experience and body of work of an actress that they don't sell out to the new ones

I'm very practical. What I'm reaching for is individualism for women
