I didn't want to escape my life and become a big actress and live my dreams. That was never the way it was; it was just these amazing opportunities that happened.

I had no preconceived idea what fame would be like, because I never thought I would be famous. I just wanted to do my work. Hell, I just wanted to pay my rent on time.

OK, I wasn't as successful as, say, Julia Roberts, but I'd spent years in a very respectable career, some big American films but a host of other smaller, really exciting, maybe experimental films, being paid rubbish but working with fine people, that was what I thought I was known for.

I got into this business because I like acting and I want to make movies. I would be happy living the rest of my life never famous.

Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.

I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.

I think I would have had trouble living with someone who didn't know what it was like to be an actor.

I would've been a really big silent movie star.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

I'd change nothing in my career path. I was never built for being a handsome teenage star. That's just not in my psyche, I think. I would have hated to have grown up famous.
