I don't have a sense of entitlement or that I deserve this. You'd be surprised at the lack of competition between nominees - I think a lot of it's imposed from the outside. Can I have my champagne now?

People talk about the golden age of Hollywood because of how women were lit then. You could be Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and work well into your 50s, because you were lit and made into a goddess. Now, with everything being sort of gritty, women have this sense of their use-by date.

If you over plan New Year's Eve it's going to be a disaster so you have to be alive to changes.

My husband wasn't put off by it - he thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as Dylan! He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face - it felt a bit odd! But I think he's used to it [the make-up process].

Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it.

The notion of fate and destiny is a very Greek concept. Working in the theater you do think a lot about that, because as a storyteller you do think, 'At what point was this always going to happen and what part have I got a hand in being able to change things?'

I have the embarrassing thing where often if you're watching a film, you kind of go through the emotions and the thought stages that your character went through, but you sort of do it with Tourette's. So I end up often crying when I'm crying, and looking angry when I'm looking angry, so it's pretty ugly.

My kids don't watch any TV, but they watch videos and films. I'm sure they watch it at friends' houses.

I much prefer a natural approach to beauty. You know, Coco Chanel always said to take one thing off before you leave the house, and I think that also applies to makeup.

Everyone gets obsessed with anti-aging but I'd rather look as good as I can at the age I am.

I think often women can feel isolated and feel like they get into a rut and don't quite know how to get out of it.

When you're a performer, of course you want an audience, but it's very, very different from courting fame.

Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.

The less one can think about oneself, the more interesting and attractive one becomes.

If I'm not good at acting, I'm not good at anything else.

The more you do it, the more you learn to concentrate, as a child does, incredibly intensively and then you sort of have to relax. I remember the first film I did, the lead actor would in between scenes be reading a newspaper or sleeping and I'd think, 'How can you do that?'

I do tend to move on anyway. This is a part of my life, but it doesn't rule my life.

Image
I'm scared of actors with a scheme.

Image
I'm not a big believer in linear paths. I would always have these sort of five-year plans and think, 'Ok, I wouldn't mind to try to get here in five years.'

I think the terrifying thing is you see all these people who go to the same cosmetic surgeon, and they end up, after a while, looking like everyone.
