Like fine wine.
Age is not a cage.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself and think, you know, things have been pretty extraordinary.
Your next choice, Kristen Scott Thomas, is French theatre and some of the directors that you've worked with in France.
And you've always had this dual career in France, the French dramas alongside some of the big Hollywood parts, even Mission Impossible or Gosford Park.
Was it always important for you to maintain that French connection that you started with?
Well, my Frenchness was for 42 years the first thing that came out because I lived there.
My children were there.
My whole life was there.
I mean, it's only recently that I've moved to the UK.
All the nourishment I was getting as a young adult was all coming from France.
In the 1980s and 90s, it was a wonderful period for French theatre.
You had people like Patrice Chéreau.
You had Luc Bondy, who's in fact Swiss.
You had this great conversation going between...
the German theatre, the French theatre, the Italians a little bit.
I would come back to England and I'd go to the theatre and everything would be so beautiful and completely precise and for an audience.
And you go to France and as an audience member, you better keep up.
You're being asked for a lot more.
And you found that exciting?
