My friends, when I was young, were always older than I was, and I've always liked them. And I love old men and old ladies, really. But I've known more elderly men, like Max Beerbohm, like Beranard Berenson, like Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill-I'd put him first, anyway-what they say is so wise and so good. They know what they're talking about.

I'm not a film star; I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

People who are very beautiful make their own laws.

I think acting is an important profession, because acting can give you pleasure and can teach you at the same time, and that is a good thing.

Every single night I'm nervous.

Things are simple when you're going to die.

I never sleep for more than five hours, hardly ever.
