The people who’ve given me sh-t, I say – like my mother – what did she say? She used to say, ‘Go to hell and don’t come back.’ However, however, however, my mother was not entirely me.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
I consider myself a character actress, and that’s working out. I’m getting chances to do things. I like the process – I don’t want to pretend I’m something other than what I am.
Best beauty tip is forgiveness for yourself and others.
My looks are changing obviously, so I fuss like any woman if I look tired or whatever, I put on weight and blah, blah. But some part of me is very relaxed with it all.
I’d like to work more, but I don’t just want to do kind of generic characters. I want to do interesting characters, and I’d like to be cast against type.
Older people exude bundles of sexuality. Older men and women tend not run around like cats and dogs in heat.
Success as a woman has changed me. That’s what I feel is the first thing. When I feel like a successful woman as a rounded human being, then it feeds my work in a broader way so it becomes more interesting.
Making the decision to do more serious work raises eyebrows. It’s less easy for the industry to deal with...
There is an eternal humanity that crosses through all people, and it’s more interesting often when it’s about struggle – not people with champagne glasses.
You have to forgive everybody. It’s the best beauty treatment.
The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn and in terms of acting, there’s a lot to learn. The bigger culture you have in life, the better actor you’ll be. You’ll have more to pull on.
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.
I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen.
The deeper interior you have the more you have in your llibrary.
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
There’s something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
Sometimes you like the personal adventure implicit in the making of a film, and sometimes you like your part in a film, and sometimes you like the final result.
Marriage has just never interested me.
