Quotes
"I like exposing
myself. There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind
of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself." (When
asked about the nude scenes in her movies)
"We hadn't been planning to
do it but we thought it was rather a good idea, so we just did it."
(About her quick out-of-the-blue marriage with director Sam Mendes)
'It was a difficult scene. When I
read the script and I saw this scene was there, I laughed hysterically.
I just couldn't believe it. When it came to shooting it, I had been
sort of putting it off, and pretending it wasn't going to happen.
And suddenly, I am there naked, peeing and thinking 'Oh no!' It
was really hard to do, but I've always loved the fact that it was
there, and it's such a sort of turning point for the character I
play in the movie that I've always felt sort of good, that it should
be there.' (About that famous scene from Holy Smoke (1999).
