Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.

In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn't mingle them. Now it's more ambiguous.

I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything

I always thought that's the exact metaphor, the perfect metaphor for acting. To go blind, to ignore the danger, and to totally trust.

The Greeks already understood that there was more interest in portraying an unusual character than a usual character - that is the purpose of films and theatre.

For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music.

I like to take these unusual characters and then make them as normal as possible, because we all know that the tragedy and the abnormal always hides itself behind the normal.

For me, making films is like being on vacation, it's a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you're going to fall off or make it to the top.

We all pretend to be very strong, and then in a fraction, you can just break down, at least for me.

A film is the reflection of the soul of its creator.

Sometimes over the years, you know, things come to surface.

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to women is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading.

All we have is our vote. But it's powerful.

John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.

I am the only girl in the family so everyone pampered me.

Ideal date is doing something new, either hiking a new place I've not been, or learning something weird and new like pottery.... and then a meal.

Meanings, moods, the whole scale of our inner experience, finds in nature the 'correspondences' through which we may know our boundless selves.

Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain't that a big enough majority in any town?

I am seriously considering it.

Next comes the realist phase ("After all, from a purely geometrical point of view a cat is only a tube with a door at the top.")
