You Write Your Life Story

I've Always Been Battling Against My Sense Of Dignity And Refinement. I Was Embarrassed By Any Bodily Functions When I Was Younger. I Could Never Even Blow My Nose.

My Fear Of Drama School Is That The Natural Extraordinary But Eccentric Talent Sometimes Can't Find Its Place In A Drama School. And Often That's The Greatest Talent. And It Very Much Depends On The Drama School And How It's Run And The Teachers. It's A Different Thing Here In America As Well Because So Many Of Your Great Actors Go To Class, Which Is Sort Of We Don't Do In England.

I Always Feel When You Work With An Artist And Whenever I Work With A Really Good Photographer, I Try To Give Him Or Her Their Own Artistic Freedom Because That's The Way You Get The Best Work Or At Least The Most Interesting Work.

I Believe That If You Want To Go Make Your Mark On The World You've Got To Go Out And Do It. Don't Be Shy, Be Adventurous.

When I Was Making Films [early In My Career] There Were Very, Very Few Female Directors, And There Were Certainly No Women On Set, Which Made Taking One's Clothes Off All The More Difficult.
