I have never met a woman who works who doesn't feel guilty. I mean we all deny it like crazy but deep down there is always that voice saying you should be at home.

If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.

Exoticism can give you an edge: it makes people assume you're cleverer than you are and gives you the upper hand.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.

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

I'm very wary of trust, you see.
