I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation.
The minute anyone's getting anxious I say, You must eat and you must sleep. They're the two vital elements for a healthy life.
I have always done exercise because I was a dancer, and it is probably good for you. I have done yoga consistently.
Eat well and sleep well. That will feed your nervous system and your psyche. As you get older, you look how you feel.
I've always kept fit but I've been doing gym and yoga and will be throwing my stilettoes away for a while!
From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.
However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.

Truly charismatic people, in my experience, don't come along very often.
I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and also have a family... they are nearly always seen as victims.
Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
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.
I'm an actress, not a pinup.
