I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.

I believe it is my duty as a performer to raise issues in the world of things we're afraid to look at.

I hate the analyzing thing. People say, 'Why do you think your character did that? I don't know. I'm not an analyst, and they're not in psychotherapy. Unless it's a film where they're in therapy.

We're all living blinkered lives, and we're not seeing what's going on and looking to change it. I'm not saying that everyone has to make a political statement, but we need to be more aware of what's happening and why.

I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.

I think once you're a mother to one, you're a mother to them all.

I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
