Women have demanded and gotten better jobs and more power. But the one thing we deserve is a better relationship with ourselves.

My character Lena is somebody who responds to people in a very simple way. I didn't have to take myself off to a darkened room to concentrate I just had to try and be open. It's an interesting subtle relationship.

My husband. He keeps me grounded. If I were in the world on my own it would all be much more seductive. But I'm in a relationship that has nothing to do with the film world.

First of all returning from motherhood I was looking for something lighter and I wasn't as much attracted to Kate as I was to the relationship between the two people.

How do you build a relationship when you've hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don't see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?

Well I don't know if this is true of everyone but I have this relationship with my parents where despite however mature or articulate or grown-up I think I've become as soon as I go home I turn into this petulant 13-year-old especially with the tone of my voice.

I was actually a bit disappointed about the amount of sex in the show. I think Backus should get out a bit more get a relationship perhaps make her a lesbian.

Every relationship that we have in our lives - our contact with each person place and event - serves a very special if yet to be realized purpose: They are mirrors that can serve to show us things about ourselves that can be realized in no other way.

Creatively I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.
