Children can only take so much, and they deal with it however they can. |
I think I've got something when I'm onscreen, but that's nothing to do with acting or talent. |
I remember becoming aware of women's issues and inequality. It became glaringly clear to me when I was living in America that women are regarded as less intelligent than men. |
I started noticing how stained the pavements are in London. The pavements in Beverly Hills aren't used; in London, they're used for everything. It doesn't matter how much they're cleaned, they still reflect light. |
I'd never been content in America. |
Altman works in such an interesting way, letting things occur in the film even if he didn't particularly plan them. |
The little things that made up the fabric of the first six years of my life were suddenly ripped away, and I didn't have anyone around me who loved me. Not one single person. |
It takes me time to realize things; I'm a speedy person but a slow thinker. |
I've never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure. |
The status quo and the media is doing everything it can to fry children's brains and make them grow up maladjusted. |
I did things like Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. I don't know what those films were about. The women I played in them were not very empowered. |
Men don't want any responsibility, and neither do I. |
I was utilized because I have a certain face that works well in cinema, and I'm used to making myself look as good as possible. |
Early on, I found the attention completely embarrassing. I'd cringe if I saw my picture on the cover of a magazine. |
It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention. |
I never will have peace of mind. I'm not constructed that way. Some things in life can be horrible. |
As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were. |
Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps. |
When I came back to Britain, I realized that I was no longer a very young woman. I had to meet my new consciousness, my new age, with roles that reflected it somewhat. |
Some people enjoy celebrity. I admire those who do, because if you're going to go through it, you might as well enjoy it. |
