When I made my first film, I didn't think of it as directing, so it wasn't like I set out to become a director. ↗

I am filled with awe that filmmakers have the capacity to stir us and give us back a sense of wonder. ↗

When I attack a role, be it TV, film or stage, the first thing I say is, I don't want to know anything. If it's good I don't want to hear it; if it's bad I don't want to hear it. The only thing either thing can do is distract me. I like to stay focused. ↗

Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress. ↗

House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights. ↗

I have a desire to create more film, more beauty, more art, more love, but I don't feel desperate. It's not about creating or building a career. ↗

I'm looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully, this will sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I will play everybody. ↗

The great thing with film is that it doesn't have an ego. It's just a film. Everybody that makes them has an ego, and the problem with awards and stuff like that is that it always affects the egos, and everyone gets stained by it in some way. And that can be fine and very innocent, but it can be horrible as well. ↗

I always say to anybody who's going over to America for the first time, 'Whatever you do, go and see a popular mainstream film with a big audience.' Because people shout out. You never get that in Britain. Everybody's so quiet, scared to laugh. It's like being in church. ↗

Always changing genres, making very different films is a good idea. It's a way of making yourself feel vulnerable again, getting back to that innocence. As is working within a circumspect budget. ↗
