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

Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.

I know I can be bolshy and really unpleasant, and it always happens if I lose confidence in the people I'm working with. If I've got no confidence in what I'm doing and they don't provide me with some assurance that we're doing the right thing then I bully people. I'm a horrible bully.

At school, I always wanted to belong to a gang, and no one would have me. So I'd have make my own gang, but with everybody else's leftovers.

Often, the roles I'm offered in England are melancholic women who are filled with regret for the past, regret for their fading beauty.

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.

There's something incredibly sexy about sand and sweat and dunes photographed like women's backs.
