No one wants to see me struggling to get a horse under control because I can't ride it. And no one wants to see me not knowing how to deal with the psychological makeup of the character.
Oh god, I wish. I really wish. If I'm time-poor, which I usually am, that's the first thing to go. And I know it shouldn't be, I know I should be really regular, but I like to get it done as quickly as possible.
Women have been doing very, very strange things for centuries. I mean ancient Egyptians were already doing that, but I don't necessarily judge people who do. I don't really think it makes people look better; they just look different.
Some days I'm very lazy, and some days I'm more inspired. I've got things I've had since I was fifteen-I don't throw anything away.

I've got a funny old face. Someone described it once, and I think they were being kind, as character. But I know what they mean! I've never been that conventional. I suppose maybe it means that my face can look different in different lights, so I just try and sort of keep it simple when I'm going out, to still look like me.

People had always vaguely mentioned that when you have children, how part of your life would stop. But they don't say that some other extraordinary part of your life opens up.
Believe it or not, I'm pretty good at just doing nothing.
Thank you to Martin Scorsese - I hope my son will marry your daughter.
Conservatism is affecting the way women perceive who they are in the world.
Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned (and) we should not turn a blind eye to them.
