We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring.

I’m massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don’t really realise that.

The money isn’t a lure. I’ve done very well out of this business.

I’d love to be in another film, but they haven’t asked me. I think it’s a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.

I’m writing a novel about two actresses who go to New York, because that’s what I know about. One has lost touch with reality, disappears and is picked up by a man.

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing – dreams of escape.

It’s getting better but men still earn more and there are more jobs for them. Ageism is a big thing. Parts for women disappear as you get older.

I don’t like being out of the crowd. It’s lonely within a group.

That’s why I’m an actress – escaping into a world.

I never wanted to become an actress because I’d read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like, why they said all the strange things they did.
