I think it's quite lucky that I lead this lifestyle, and in fact, my career's only gotten better as I've looked older, because it ages you, the uncertainty.

When the Hollywood thing happened, I thought at some point I'd get to the front of the queue: 'Yes, hello, I'd like to play that role.' But you don't. You just join a different queue.

My parents have always been cool. They even became surrogates to friends of mine who didn't have such supportive parents.

The best Christmas present I got from my husband was a week to do whatever I wanted.

Family holidays and weekends are really brightly colored memories, full of my mother and father, rather than our nannies and au pairs.

My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to, but a tough one.

There's this absurd situation on a movie set where your trailer's here and the set is here and the lunch tent is here, and you're not allowed to get yourself from these three places.

I wanted to play a TV detective because it's a rite of passage; I wanted to experience every area of acting. I haven't done comedy or as much Shakespeare as I had intended.

I have many debates now with friends on the changes, and the continuing confusion over bringing up your children, instilling values, letting them make the right choices.

I thought "I've coped with some crazy situations, and I can do this." But working with Roman Polanski is so different from the fashionable and accepted way of directing now.

The intensity of the love of the upright is not so much to be judged by what it appears as by what the upright long for. It is our daily lament that we cannot love enough.

I believe in peace through strength.

A life filled with opportunities and encouragement finds more and more opportunities and encouragement, and success becomes inevitable.

You can't sing about love unless you know about it.

Kids called me 'Skeletor' as a kid because I was so skinny.

In the end I didn't get a top car any more. I had no toughness left. That was the reality.

You and I are the same. What I have done is surely possible for all. You are the Self now and can never be anything else. Throw your worries to the wind, turn within and find Peace.

I couldn't live up to it. So I chose to run away.

There is a sense in which we are all each other's consequences

The things you have that money won't buy are the things that will enable you to get more of the things that money will buy.
