Men don’t fall in love with me - only young ones Picture Quote #1

We older women in Europe are lucky not to be shoved away in a drawer Picture Quote #1

Most films seem to be about a man and a women falling in love at some point and once you pass forty-five, it’s almost disgusting to fall in love Picture Quote #1

When you make a film, you sign a contract with somebody, and it’s not only legally binding but morally binding. You agree to give this man a certain number of weeks of your life, and you just go for it as much as possible. Because, whatever happens, the film is going to come out, so you might as well try very hard to make it a good one Picture Quote #1

French culture takes ageing very seriously. There’s much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries Picture Quote #1

‘The English Patient’ was a huge turning point in my career and my life; it became this huge thing. But the whole Oscar build-up got completely out of control; I spent more time talking about that film than I spent making it! Picture Quote #1

I really like acting in French. It’s actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It’s fun acting in a foreign language. You’re liberated or freed from preconceptions Picture Quote #1

I mean, if you’re being directed very precisely by somebody who has admiration and who’s really smart, it’s great. If you’re being told what to do by a nincompoop - and luckily that hasn’t happened very often - it can be very frustrating Picture Quote #1

I just get so fed up with seeing the same things written about me. If I see the words ‘ice queen’ attached to me, I feel like banging my head against the wall. There’s this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background Picture Quote #1

Movies make you immortal and ageless Picture Quote #1

I can’t move back to England. My home is in France now. I’d love to but I can’t. My family’s all there now Picture Quote #1

If anyone says, ‘Let’s have a girls’ night out,’ I will run in the opposite direction Picture Quote #1

Often, the roles I’m offered in England are melancholic women who are filled with regret for the past, regret for their fading beauty Picture Quote #1

I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated? Picture Quote #1

As an adult, it’s a huge shock to be orphaned; as a child it’s just hideous, ghastly Picture Quote #1

I think in most jobs, you get better as you get older. You gain experience, you gain knowledge Picture Quote #1

Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys Picture Quote #1

People accuse me of being Methody, but I’m not at all. The one thing I don’t want people to see is me. I don’t want them to be able to recognize my faults and failures and qualities, and I won’t use those things to spark off emotions or to illustrate Picture Quote #1

I can’t get into all that physical stuff of having to have flawless skin... Sometimes you see people and it looks like someone’s got an eraser and made their face a little blurry - their traits seem to go out of focus Picture Quote #1

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms Picture Quote #1

If you’re feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you’re different Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t make you feel very good being mean and fierce; it is much nicer playing people who are kind and sweet Picture Quote #1

I’m not one of those famous people flying round the world emoting over every catastrophe. I’m too feeble Picture Quote #1

When I speak English, I’ve been told, I have this patrician way of speaking that’s very irritating. It’s the whole class thing Picture Quote #1

I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother Picture Quote #1
