women eye reason
One of the reasons I don't see eye to eye with Women's Lib is that women have it all on a plate if only they knew it. They don't have to be pretty either.
cinema
Doing cinema is not about watching yourself
running believe looks
A lot of young actors will do a scene and then run off and look at themselves. I don't believe in that at all
thinking actors opinion
I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves
book skins film
A film based on a jolly good John Grisham book is fine, but I like to get a bit under the skin
watches
You cannot watch yourself dispassionately.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
