I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother.

In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'

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.

Successful films are very dangerous things.

I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

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