“I’m afraid of being lazy and complacent. I’m afraid of taking myself too seriously.”

Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.

Everything will be better in the morning. It always is.

I like the sensibility of Australian film a lot and the crews are fantastic. Great characters, wonderful people and no line between – I think in Hollywood they have this line between actors and crew a lot, and that just didn’t exist, which I really appreciated.

We measure success and depth by length of time, but it is possible to have a deep relationship that doesn’t always stay the same.

Sydney’s a beautiful city. It was a great experience.

I just think Australia tends to make very good movies, so if someone hands me an Australian or an American film script I would guess the Australian film would be more intriguing.

I know actors come around and they always talk like that, but I don’t do publicity if I don’t like the film.

I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people’s reactions to my aging.

It’s also very painful, because I feel, and I know, probably all women my age and older feel like we’re better and have more to give and are more fun now.

I look back on my life like everybody does but not just career. I mean I look back on my life as a whole, so I don’t think that I dwell there or anything and in terms of work I hope that there is a lot in front of me.

Comparing the Brooklyn that I know with Manhattan is like comparing a comfortable and complacent duenna to her more brilliant and neurotic sister.

In terms of the way we’re governed, and the way we sort of become complacent.
