[in an interview with The Telegraph in February 2003] I used to be much more ambitious. I don't feel ambitious at all now in terms of using work as a stepping stone to somewhere else, but I do feel an enormous thirst to do work that I care about. I don't think I've ever played a part on film that has given me the opportunity to do what I've been able to do on stage.
[in an interview with The Telegraph in February 2003] I wake up every morning feeling lucky - which is driven by fear, no doubt, since I know it could all go away.
[on playing Patty Hearst] I gobbled up this part, but I had no idea of the difficulties inherent in playing a character who's not a heroine.
[on being part of an acting dynasty] It's a huge help to be the daughter of famous parents; the doors open just out of curiosity, and after you land a job, you have the inspiration of their help, and their own work.
[on her role in Asylum] "It's a very dark, very intense, very sexy story, full of pain and passion and all the stuff I love. I'm a hopeless romantic so I fall for that stuff hook, line and sinker."
I think there's nothing you won't do for someone you love. That's what I learned...when you realize it doesn't matter. When you love someone, you do all that for them.
