coming happened home maintain public rather view
I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my w0rk and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here . . .
people whatever
I think people should do whatever they want to do. That's the point. Why should you care what other people think or say? You're not living in their pocket.
brought certain children continuity gives life moving people
My children were brought up with their grandparents, and I was brought up with my grandparents. I think the continuity of moving through life together gives people a certain pride and sense of security.
feed system
Eat well and sleep well. That will feed your nervous system and your psyche. As you get older, you look how you feel.
genes good time
I like having a good time. It's probably my mother's Brazilian genes in me - party, party.
goes mean passing regret stage
It's like a fire. It goes through a journey, and each stage is interesting. I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.

I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all, I've never had a husband.
family
I come from a very hospitable, close, Catholic, matriarchal family.
came definitely family madly marry meant wealthy worked
My mother was madly adventurous. My father was an actor - he worked with Gielgud - and my mother came from a very wealthy family. She definitely wasn't meant to marry an actor, but she eloped with him one lunch-time.
basically camera films love loving people speaking work
In films people basically work for the camera, you know, and that's why actors can hate each other and not be speaking to each other and still look as if they're in love because really they're loving the camera loving them.
amount films love
I like working in theatre now and I think that once you've done a certain amount of films most actors love working in the theatre because of the camaraderie.
biggest choice good life privilege seemed time wrong
The biggest privilege I've had in my life is being able to make a choice. If you make a choice, it can't be a wrong choice because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
eight everybody gone listening nobody rows
In the theatre, once you've gone about eight rows back, everybody else is just listening to you. You're very small, and nobody can really see what you're doing.
english-actress statement
I have made a public statement about me and Ralph by being seen with him. I don't need to make any other. You can live the way you want.
