I don't know what my image is. I went to France to publicize Marvin's Room, and one really smart young woman journalist said to me, "You know, when I told people I was going to interview Meryl Streep they were so excited... all ze women in my office, they love you so much. But ze men - they are afraid of you."

I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

I am not always happy. I am happy in front of the press. I can be extremely grumpy, ask my husband.

Anyone who wants to achieve something, needs a lot of work.

Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.

I love food and I love sex.
