I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid so yes I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience how can it be that on a Monday morning you are useless?

I'm going to get up every morning at 6:30 to work out. Then when I've kept with it all week I give myself something I really want like a new handbag or a piece of jewelry I'm coveting.

You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.

If I'm working on a film I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like 100 in the morning or something.

It's very important to write things down instantly or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.

I was a very undisciplined person but acting was something that actually motivated me to get up in the morning. I hadn't experienced that before but it was something that really excited me. I think I could be quite self-conscious and it gave me a release.

It seems to me madness to wake up in the morning and do something other than paint considering that one may not wake up the following morning.

The thing with me is if I wake up one morning and I'm not happy working as an actress I'll stop. It's not something I have to do. It's not a vocation.

Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You'd wake up in the morning and you'd have no idea what your day was going to be. And that's something I've never been able to shake. I loved that.

I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write I prefer to write in the morning until midday and in the afternoon I eat.
