Making films can be absolutely fantastic, but it can also be incredibly dull. You spend the whole day sitting by yourself in your trailer and then you get called to deliver one sentence – then you’re told to come back and do it again at 5:30 the following morning.
I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge.
I can’t move back to England. My home is in France now. I’d love to but I can’t. My family’s all there now.
With the theatre, your whole day is geared towards the evening’s show, and that’s the job. People usually go to work about 9 and come home around 5, or maybe 7.
I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words ‘ice queen’ attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There’s this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background.
I have never met a woman who works who doesn’t feel guilty. I mean we all deny it like crazy but deep down there is always that voice saying you should be at home.
In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.’
I’m not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I’m too feeble.
If you’re feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you’re different.
