british-actress dance heart love sing
You've got to sing sometimes like you don't need the money. Love sometimes like you'll never get hurt. You've got to dance, dance, dance like nobody's watching. It's got to come from the heart if you want it to work.
sex thinking laughing
The important thing in acting is to be able to laugh and cry. If I have to cry, I think of my sex life. If I have to laugh, I think of my sex life.
wise age growing
I look forward to growing old and wise and audacious.

To counter-balance the natural humility of motherhood, I garden ... In the garden, more than any place, I really feel successful.

people only ever offer you a great deal of money for rubbish. The greater the number of noughts on the cheque, the greater the crapular content of the movie; the better the work, the less you're paid.
passion important want
To have something which one particularly wants to do is more important than anything else. It is even more important than succeeding in that thing you want to do. In fact it does not matter if you fail, but it does matter that you do or do not want to do something.
world bed resentment
I'm the world's worst bearer of grudges. I'm sure I'll be bearing grudges and paying off old scores on my death-bed.
sex thinking laughing
[On being asked, 'Did you ever say that an actress needs to be able to laugh and to cry and that when you need to laugh you think of your sex life and when you need to cry you think of your sex life?':] No.
coats needs vegan
Nobody really needs a mink coat... Except the mink.
nice world would-be
It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it, but that's not the world we live in.
jobs looks actors
Being an actress has something in common with being a housewife. They both look terribly easy to someone who hasn't done them. And the easier it looks, probably the better you are doing your job.
