I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

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.

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

Movies make you immortal and ageless.

My children are lovely. They're perfect.

I tend to do things that I'm very frightened of. That's what I do.

You have to think about whether that Mercedes-Benz you have is actually worth how much it costs to you.
