I'm very good at forgetting people.

If you make a film about a pig farmer in Wales and you are a huge hit as the pig farmer's wife, the next thing is you'll be asked to do a film about a sheep farmer in Scotland.

I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.

I never raise my voice!

I'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.

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.

Having a leading man who is actually prettier than you are is quite upsetting.
