Above all else, deep in my soul, I'm a tough Irishwoman.

I am like many of the women I have played onscreen.

My heritage has been my grounding, and it has brought me peace.

I didn't let anyone push me into things I didn't want to do where my career was concerned. So why did I crumble when it came to men?

Comedy is difficult, especially slapstick. The trick is to have fun while you are performing it.

I spent a great deal of time with Che Guevara while I was in Havana. I believe he was far less a mercenary than he was a freedom fighter.

I saw myself as Joan of Arc.
