I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.

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

I'm not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I'm too feeble.

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

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.

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

As actors, we're always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it's not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.
