I would argue that something dark is lurking between the sexes, and that it is seeping out into cinema.

Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.

I can't spend the rest of my life being pretty in a bonnet.

I would like to know that I was still going to be employed as a woman well into my 60s. In acting terms, a career that spans a lifetime is a very hard thing to achieve, particularly as a woman.

I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.

I'd actually really love to review books and films and plays, but you can't be an artist and a critic. I would love it if I could.

If you are an actress in L.A., on your 40th birthday they should just hand you the keys to the lunatic asylum.
