I’m afraid of being too sure, to just deliver. I think that’s the biggest danger for actors – after a certain time, when you’re known and recognised, people expect you to do what you’re supposed to do, and there’s almost no more criticism and that’s very dangerous.

What I do is I come in the morning and get involved in the character, but I’m always very pleased to leave it at night and have my life.

I didn’t devote my life to acting. I give a lot to my work, but my life has always been more important.

I’ve always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.

I am frivolous. But sometimes, that’s the problem of my Christian education, when I know I’ve been frivolous, and I know I have to do it, then I feel guilty.

People expect a lot more from someone they think looks interesting. It’s a burden.

Sometimes it’s more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.

Being an actress is a very physical thing. If I didn’t look the way I looked, I would never have started in films.

It’s very difficult for me to speak about being an actor.

I wouldn’t say no to being in a film with Jude Law. I love English actors.
