I never thought of my father when I was growing up. Truly. He was a strong, silent man who worked hard to support his family.

I never went through a gender identity problem, but I did with my sexuality.

I remember my first review in London said I was the next Peter Brook. I said: 'No way. I'm not Peter Brook. I don't have the maturity, the experience, the intelligence. Don't burden me.'

We should never overestimate an audience's culture, but we should never underestimate their intelligence.

I've recently started composting in my apartment, which is quite an adventure.

My first ever job after college was as a flight attendant. I wanted to travel and could not afford it, so I decided to get myself a job where I could travel. I did it for two years and had great fun.

I loved the travel but I didn't love the work. I mean, come on, modelling is only so stimulating!

My father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. He used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and I made up a story about a brother and a sister, Lisa and Matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals.
