My Parents Were Political, So It's Definitely

It's Always A Help When You Have Worked With Someone As You've Got To Know Them A Bit Already.

It Helps Being From Somewhere Other Than Hollywood, Not Having Grown Up With That Sense Of Film-making. I Really Wasn't Exposed To That As A Young Woman.

When I Was Little It Was A Great Time For Film-making, With Stuff Like Mike Nichols' 'silkwood.' The Films You See In That Pre-secondary-school Stage Stay With You In A Very Particular Way.

I Was Picked Up On A London Street By A Model Agent. She Took Me To Her Office And Then Sent Me To Paris To Work In Shows. It Was Supposed To Be Two Weeks, But I Ended Up Living There With My Zimbabwean Boyfriend. I Made Enough Money Modeling And Acting In French Movies To Buy A Nice Flat.

You Can't Ignore The System And The Power You Acquire As An Actor If You're In Films That Are Successful.
