I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen.
I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
I have never given up on men easily.
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.
I love being in my garden. I don't plant a lot of exotic flora, but I do spend a lot of time outside doing manual labour.
I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.
I think I am an adult.
I want to keep my attractiveness as long as I can. It has to do with vitality and energy and interest.
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.
I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually.
I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.
I'm a perfectionist. I need to be needed. I need to do things for a man. But I don't need to do them as much, these days.
I'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.
I've always loved men.
I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.
Marriage has just never interested me.
My view is quite simple. When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give away your dog. You say, This dog is special. I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet. I feel exactly the same way about men. They need to be taught things.
Not everyone likes watching rushes, but it makes me work harder, and I don't feel I am watching myself, but watching the progression of the character.
Sometimes you like the personal adventure implicit in the making of a film, and sometimes you like your part in a film, and sometimes you like the final result.
The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.
