People are always saying, English, English, English rose, and I just feel so completely different.

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

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

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.

Seeing The English Patient is wonderfully draining, but imagine acting in it for six months.

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.
