If you are a successful actor, which is what I am, then you tend to get labelled very quickly and easily.

I mean, if you're being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who's really smart, it's great. If you're being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn't happened very often - it can be very frustrating.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.

I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.

Image
In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'

I wouldn't want you to see me all the time on the screen, because I get bored of it myself!

When I speak English, I've been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that's very irritating. It's the whole class thing.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

I have never met a woman who works who doesn't feel guilty. I mean we all deny it like crazy but deep down there is always that voice saying you should be at home.

Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.

I can't move back to England. My home is in France now. I'd love to but I can't. My family's all there now.

Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence - then you're told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
