When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.

After a long time with someone, you realise you've been thinking for two.

As an adult, it's a huge shock to be orphaned; as a child it's just hideous, ghastly.

Movies make you immortal and ageless.

Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it's almost disgusting to fall in love.

Sometimes, I think I could have been a major movie star with the vast mansion and staff. I look at my Volvo and think it could be a limousine. I think of the roles I turned down. But then I wouldn't have had any children.

I'd love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms.
