I think it’s very repressive for a woman to be constantly told that she has to make films about women to better represent women, but then the reverse is not found Picture Quote #1

Women don’t question themselves when they enter into a story that has male characters, but men do question the validity of a female narrative Picture Quote #1

The language of freedom-fighting was so co-opted by the baby boomers in order to express their now-hopelessly compromised ideologies that no other generation could emulate it without a smirk.

When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the 50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late 60s, there’s an enormous difference. There had already been a huge transition. Then, of course, you get well into the 70s and there were women with children working Picture Quote #1

I have a very strong, probably slightly aggressive personality, and so that just ends up coming out regardless of what I try to do Picture Quote #1

I try not to live in the future too much; that can make you crazy as an actor. There are so many people who are obsessed about their career path, like it’s something which you can control, which fundamentally you can’t Picture Quote #1

Women don’t question themselves when they enter into a story that has male characters, but men do question the validity of a female narrative Picture Quote #1

I think one of the reasons I’ve done so much period work is because I feel so depressed by how society chooses to represent women in contemporary work Picture Quote #1

I was mad until I was about 25. Completely out of control with my emotions. Everything that happened to me was a tragedy. I’ve been much happier over 25 Picture Quote #1

There was quite a lot of lying around in fields at Stonar, a small independent girls’ school in the country near Bath. It was a non-selective school and the right environment for me: academically not particularly pushy Picture Quote #1

I am always naturally drawn to heroines that have human flaws because I enjoy people that have lived their life with courage and make big successes and big failures Picture Quote #1

I read the paper pretty much every day, as well as getting news from the Internet and on TV. But I don’t do social media at all; I’m a Luddite from that point of view Picture Quote #1

I love science fiction. I read a lot of science fiction Picture Quote #1
