I Had A Happier Experience

If I Was Going To Make A Broad Generalisation, I'd Say That I Prefer The Company Of Women. People Know Now That I Live With Mike Figgis, But I Prefer Not To Talk About It. On One Level, Privacy Is Important, But On Another Level I Have No Desire To Deny Certain Things.

It Helps Being From Somewhere Other Than Hollywood, Not Having Grown Up With That Sense Of Film-making. I Really Wasn't Exposed To That As A Young Woman.

I'm Not Very Good With Stills. I Get All Twitchy.

In Orthodox Film-making, You Never Shoot Sequentially - But With Improv, Obviously Every Move You Make Has A Knock-on Effect; It Is A Cumulative Process. I Have Improvised, On The Non-scripted 'timecode.' It Can Become Entirely Indulgent: Actors Smashing Crockery And Competing Verbally.

I Like Acting In London-not Least Because It Means I Can Go Home After The Show Every Day, Rather Than Being On Location Making A Film.
