The first opera I went to see was Maria Callas singing 'Tosca'.

The food that's never let me down in life is porridge, especially with milk and maple syrup, which is delicious. Paris isn't a porridge place, but I can buy it in London when I'm there and bring it back with me.

If I let myself sink into depression, I won't be able to get out. And then I'll be awfully unhappy. I just have to turn my face to the light and walk on. And trust that things will be all right.

Bad behaviour makes men more glamorous. Women get destroyed, thrown out of society and locked up in institutions.

I'm having a great life, and I want to go on having one.

I want to do movies, but I want to do something that's good. I don't want to make any more films until I feel that I'm ready for it. I want to have good work, and a very elegant life. I believe you get what you want.

I come from a very left wing Socialist family, anti-war and anti-empire.
