Early on, I found the attention completely embarrassing. I'd cringe if I saw my picture on the cover of a magazine.

Altman works in such an interesting way, letting things occur in the film even if he didn't particularly plan them.

Children can only take so much, and they deal with it however they can.

Happiness is the absence of suffering. I think it's an interesting way of looking at it. I think the absence of suffering exists very rarely in the world we live in.

It takes me time to realize things; I'm a speedy person but a slow thinker.

I did things like Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. I don't know what those films were about. The women I played in them were not very empowered.

I remember becoming aware of women's issues and inequality. It became glaringly clear to me when I was living in America that women are regarded as less intelligent than men.

I started noticing how stained the pavements are in London. The pavements in Beverly Hills aren't used; in London, they're used for everything. It doesn't matter how much they're cleaned, they still reflect light.

When I came back to Britain, I realized that I was no longer a very young woman. I had to meet my new consciousness, my new age, with roles that reflected it somewhat.

The status quo and the media is doing everything it can to fry children's brains and make them grow up maladjusted.

The little things that made up the fabric of the first six years of my life were suddenly ripped away, and I didn't have anyone around me who loved me. Not one single person.

Some people enjoy celebrity. I admire those who do, because if you're going to go through it, you might as well enjoy it.

My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India.

Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.

Men don't want any responsibility, and neither do I.
