Vulcans are so smart. There’s no excess; it’s just enough. I learned coming away from the film that less really is much more. Sometimes, as a human, you get so discombobulated with emotions, but this was easier, because it was s o clean to play.
In film, the possibilities are greater. You can go beyond the fourth wall. You can go to these incredible locations and you’re put into circumstances that are physically sensuous. It sometimes requires much more of a physical talent.
Whenever I go to bars in London, people send me over Cosmopolitans. It’s a very sweet gesture, but I don’t like them, so they just sit there.
Who cares what you are just enjoy it!
It’s your body, your life. Do what you want to do.
I have a very healthy dose of self-loathing. But I think we all have a past of being whatever our story was, of feeling not good enough. It can propel you to work harder and do more, but it can also be a tremendous trap, and you cant see beyond it.
My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.
In my life and career I want to embrace ageing because I think that’s what’s interesting.
I’ve been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It’s exciting to play a femme fatale.
Being a gossip reporter just isn’t a respectable job. It’ll chew you up and spit you out.
I’m so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don’t think about retirement.
I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play – not a movie.
I try not to listen to the shoulds or coulds, and try to get beyond expectations, peer pressure, or trying to please – and just listen. I believe all the answers are ultimately within us.
I prefer younger men. In some ways, they are much more open to a woman being stronger and independent then some of the men my age.
I don’t read reviews because if they’re bad I’m devastated and if they’re good I get a big head.
I am no size zero or super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.
You have to be desirable. And that’s why so many woman of my age or even younger are pushed to Botox and plastic surgery, all the things that people say, ‘Why do women do this?’ Where do you go in your 50s in your career?
Art is an expression of who you are. Parts that I play are my sculptures.
I always assumed that like my mother before me, one day I would have children.
I’m not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.
