My father was a diplomatic officer. As a diplomat's daughter, you have to learn to present yourself very early on.

What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.

Crimes of Passion, which is one of the best films I've done, will live strongly in my resume, even though it didn't do well.

Get more women producers, writers, directors. Why should we expect men to do it for us? They can't.

I always thought the point was to have a bigger life, to meet more people. So I don't understand Hollywood.

I don't believe in simply accumulating money, but I have the luxury to say that, because I have enough for all my needs.
