I do have to say my daughter, Sunday, said to me [I was being] overprotective, so you must have been a fly on the wall.

The accumulation of experience gives you a debt in terms of compassion. I am very fortunate, and I feel dedicated to giving back to other women. Wherever I am now, I make sure I visit a women's shelter. But I don't want to do it in a frivolous way.

Having your work be the basis of fame, that's a far more stable feeling.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

I just want to be nominated; beggars can't be choosers.

It was very natural for me to want to disappear into the theatre, I am really very shy.

At this time in my life, I want to be giving to my relationships. And out of that, whatever work you do prospers because you have more to give. There's something very primal about giving birth. It puts you in a state of being very raw.
