In film, other actors' performances really are not your concern. If the other actor isn't giving you what you want, act as though he were.

I've got a lot of back-up because my father was a Catholic, my mother was a Protestant, I was educated by Jews and I'm married to a Muslim. So I won't lose out on a technicality.

I learn the whole time. I think it would be dull if I thought I was going to work and wouldn't find something new. We always learn.

For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?

I'm always slightly envious of people who become extremely rich without anyone knowing who the hell they are, like financiers.

Not only is acting more than a part-time job, it's more than a full-time job. It's a full-time obsession.

If you're blond, as I am, and you have blond lashes, you have to wear mascara, otherwise you're invisible on stage.
