I feel most comfortable in an old pair of jeans, Converse, and a man's jersey. My best friend cuts my hair with kitchen scissors.
My mother was right: When you've got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust.
If you fall in love with a country and its people, that makes any country warm to you.
A Birkin bag is a very good rain hat; just put everything else in a plastic bag.
Keep smiling - it takes 10 years off!
When you start recognising that you're having fun, life can be delightful.
He painted me when I was young because he was in love with me, but now that he has loved me he doesn't paint me anymore.
I'd rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes.
There's no fun in a bag if it's not kicked around so that it looks as if the cat's been sitting on it - and it usually has. The cat may even be in it! I always put on stickers and beads and worry beads. You can get them from Greece, Israel, Palestine - from anywhere in the world.
I can't be the only person in the world to have three different husbands, and yet those relationships are never talked about.
I grind my teeth and keep my thumbs in so tight that I've dislocated them, just not to scream. Sometimes as an actor one is lucky enough to be asked to scream.
I don't much enjoy travelling, but I have always longed to take a slow train to Russia. I'd like to go alone - like writers do - with only a pencil and piece of paper as company. I'd take my sketchbook and note down all the wonderful details of other travellers.
David Attenborough... has that wonderful, breathy voice, and he's always so fascinated by what he's seeing. There's nothing about him that I can't find attractive.
I always hang things on my bags because I don't like them looking like everyone else's.
When I arrived in France aged 20, I marched against the death penalty, which was an unpopular thing to protest against at the time.
I never have more than one bag at a time. I think one is already quite enough. Also, I hate changing bags, so I never have the thing of having ten bags. Any bag that's with me will take the same course as I will. It will take the same airplanes and will be squashed in the same way and will be used as a cushion in the airports.
I don't like getting older, but there's nothing I can do. Hitting 60 wasn't great, but I think I was lucky in not being that beautiful; it can be really cruel on people who have been stunning.
I think there is an extreme charm in the French, and actually it's their bolshiness that makes them such fun.
When I was at school I used to scream in trains, in those concertina things between the carriages. I used to try to be so good that sometimes I couldn't bear it any more.
I colour my hair mousy brown and I wear makeup only on stage. I use Laura Mercier - something called Biscuit, I think. I run one tiny sponge over my face and cover the red blotches. If I've got some rouge, I'll bung it on my mouth and cheeks.
