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.

We all come in different shapes and sizes, and that's fine by me.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

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

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.

We older women in Europe are lucky not to be shoved away in a drawer.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.
