Quotes

On filming intimate scenes with Solaris co-star, George Clooney:

'Nude scenes are a bit stressful. But those aren't the moments which stood out, which is a creit to George and the director Steven Soderbergh. It was just the three of us in the room. George really is gorgeous, but I never saw him play on his attraction to women. He's charming, funny and you can ask him anything and he has a point of view. He is Cary Crant reincarnated.'

On Devil's Own co-star, Brad Pitt:

'Brad was easy-going, with a boyish humour; a different energy to someone like George Clooney who's so debonair. Brad is cutting-edge and hip, while George is more effortless and old-fashioned.'

On Surviving Picasso co-star, Anthony Hopkins:

'He's very playful and an amazing comedian. He wasn't flirtatious. He doesn't rely on that as a man. He is more complex and interesting than that.'

On earning more than her surgeon husband, Martin:

'Martin could outstrip me if he went private. I guess my career is now and later on he'll probably be earning more and I will be hobbling about on a stage somewhere.'

On the most surprising thing that ever happened to her:

'Watching my mother walk into my school assembly in leopard-print leggings and freshly back - combed hair. It was the Eighties, in her defence.'

On working away from her family:

'It makes me unhappy if I have to go out two nights in a row. I can't talk that much. I'm pretty sure that whichever journey I'm on is the right one for me. A high-profile career wouldn't have suited my personality. Even now, if someone approaches me in the street, I'm on the defensive. Some actors are like flowers basking in the sun - they love the attention, and the fans get what they want. With me it's different. I know the fans aren't getting what they want. And I'm certainly not getting what I want.'

On choosing roles:

'My only rule has been to chop and change. I don't want to be predictable or typecast - but, more importantly, I don't want to bore myself or become complacent about what I do.'
