Working Away From My Husband

I Am British. I Love Britain For All Its Faults And All Its Virtues. My Husband Is American And I Am Largely Based In Los Angeles, But Whenever Someone Asks Me Where Home Is, I Automatically Say 'london.'

I Am For Peace And All Kinds Of Ways Because The Total Reality Is That You Never Quite, At Least In My Experience, You Never Quite Get To Be Peaceful In The Profession That We Have All Chosen. It's A Constant Yearning, A Constant Reaching Out For The Unreachable. And So You Never Quite Find Peace Within Yourself. You Are Always Questioning Yourself And Challenging Yourself And Feeling That You Would Fall Short.

I Am Not Too Keen On My Nose, I Don't Like My Knees, I Hate My Ankles, I Am Unsure About My Behind, I Don't Like My Legs At All. I Am Not Too Sure About My Chin, My Forehead Is A Bit Dodgy. But, Overall, I Can Live With It.

There Isn't A King Lear For Women, Or A Henry V, Or A Richard Iii. You Reach A Level Where You Can Handle That Stuff Technically And Mentally, And It's Not There.

When I Was Making Films [early In My Career] There Were Very, Very Few Female Directors, And There Were Certainly No Women On Set, Which Made Taking One's Clothes Off All The More Difficult.
