children thinking done
Rather than go from one life to another, I think I live a lot of lives at the same time. I've done that ever since I was a child. It seemed that I was inhabited by some B movie.
jobs character thinking
The nature of acting is that one is many characters and jumps from one skin to another as a way of life. Sometimes it's hard to know exactly what all of your characters think at the same time. Sometimes one of my characters overrules one of my other characters. I'm trying to get them all to harmonize. It's a hell of a job. It's like driving a coach.
thinking people awareness
I don't have all that great an awareness of how people see me in life. I don't find myself thinking about it a lot.
decision criticism getting-older
It's certainly what I like best about getting older. You're not up for grabs for criticism anymore. You make a decision, it's made, it's fine, you don't have to go back and rework it. You don't have to apologize.
drama acting wonderful
One of the difficulties of being a writer must be that you create drama that you can't live out. That's one of the wonderful things about acting.
writing painting hardest
Writing must certainly be one of the hardest professions - writing and painting.
growth age evolution
Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.
thinking arms tiny
I'm a collector - I collect everything. I can't throw things away. For some reason I think I'm going to need tiny wooden teddy bears with their arms hacked off.
book too-much watches
I read much more that I do anything else. I don't watch too much television, because I like books.
character scripts shows
I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.
fighting men affection
I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
beautiful country weather
It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.
daughter men ideas
The idea of being given things that you don't necessarily deserve was always a difficult one for me to negotiate, and so I really always felt that I had to prove myself. Being the daughter of a famous man I guess is more easy than being the daughter of a famous woman, but at the same time there was a sense of really, with me, of wanting to earn my own way.
running ambition bored
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
