My best feature is my hair.
Once cancer happens it changes the way you live for the rest of your life.
Roses are my favourite flower, and my mum always grew a lot of them.
If ever I feel I might be able to tackle it, I'd love to try holding a spear or something in the theater, or opening a door, or anything, just to try it, you know, because it must be some marvelous magic thing.
Do I think I'm under-educated? Academically, absolutely. I never took any exams, no O- or A-levels.
I like solitary pursuits, such as reading or pottering about in the garden.
I live in jeans and own a lot of them. I'm much more comfortable in trousers and T-shirts, and I don't often wear dresses.
My sons are precious to me and I have tried incredibly hard to strike the right balance between work and home life while being acutely aware that I haven't always got it right.
There's such an energy bounding around New York, I can't help but get swept along in it.
I always say a tremendous amount of healing is in your own hands.
I have a horror of being in confined spaces.
I cry in movies a lot, and over books.
There are some fantastic, brilliant alternative doctors out there.
It doesn't make sense that there is only one way of dealing with cancer.
I have a lot of mirrors around my house, not because I like to look at myself, but because I like the light and perspective they bring to a room.
When you start acting as a child, you grow up ahead of your movies.
Even when I became the typical shy adolescent, I never minded performing. I felt there was a kind of safety, a protection about being on stage, about losing myself in another character.
In my life, things have happened to me. I've never felt I was controlling anything.
My father was an inspiration to me; I made a few movies with him and I loved working with him. Everything about him - his whole approach to work, as well as his love, enthusiasm and respect for it and other people in the business - was inspiring. I was very lucky to have him as a role model.
I'm a lazy creature when I'm not acting.
