basic flattered men style suits
I'm very flattered to be called a style icon! But it's simple, my style; it's just men's suits and shoes. That's the basic premise.
amount certain needs screen work
If you don't have a certain amount of stage fright, then it's not going to be that interesting. It's not going to have the inner vibration. I think screen work needs inner vibration.
feeling nature since spirit
Ever since I was a small child, I've had this feeling - it's in my nature, and so it's not even pretentious - that if everyone's going one way, I will go the other, just by some kind of spirit of defiance.
breathe inner life paint
If you want to paint the inner life, you paint it from the exterior. From the exterior, you breathe the inner life into your painting.
describe finally good remember saying
I remember my father saying to me once, 'I finally know how to describe you, Charlotte. You're prickly.' And he was right - prickly is a very good description. If I had to be an animal, I'd probably be a porcupine.
either feasible fit pops range subject
When a subject pops into a director's head, you either fit in there somewhere, or you don't. An actor is only who he is. Especially as you get older, there's not as much of a range of potentially feasible parts.
love people
Usually, watching yourself is pretty awful. People think we all love watching our own films. We don't. We cringe away from it.
situation verge
We are on the verge of this situation all our lives,
kissing film
I did that film just so I could kiss Robert Redford.
judging done
You can never really judge your work because once it's done, it's done.
musical body movement
The process of filmmaking is very musical, you get into the rhythm and the rhythmics of how someone is, especially with Woody Allen who is very much into body language and body movement.
regret years training
I regret not having enough training, I trained for a year at The Royal Court, but I very quickly went off to do films and television.
watches
You cannot watch yourself dispassionately.
heart limits desert
I must explore desert ground and see what can grow. But there are limits. I know in my heart what I would never do.
