I think with the best actors, emotion is something that has no kind of check in them.

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.

As a kid, I really loved 'Jane Eyre,' I used to fantasise that the past was so much better and my lifetime was crap.

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

I think if I was ever really going to be more serious about writing I'd have to try and find some way to do it with other people. I do find the silence kind of eerie.

I wish I was a more adventurous person in a way. But actually, security is a really big deal for me.

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