Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.

I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.

I am so bored with seeing stories about a mature man of 65 falling in love with a beautiful girl of 32.

When you make a film, you sign a contract with somebody, and it's not only legally binding but morally binding. You agree to give this man a certain number of weeks of your life, and you just go for it as much as possible. Because, whatever happens, the film is going to come out, so you might as well try very hard to make it a good one.

I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.

I find it difficult to explain, but I'm quite ashamed of being an actress.
