QUOTES:

I always thought of Pride and Prejudice (1995) as more of a romantic comedy than a period drama. It just happens that they were the clothes people wore when it was written.

[on trying to fit in after moving to Britain from America] There were a few days when I was having trouble finding words to express feelings of enthusiasm. But when I discovered “brilliant”, I was fine.

[nudity in her first role] I wish I’d not taken off all my clothes in my first television series, The Camomile Lawn. When I took the job, I did not realize there would be so much nudity. But no one forced me to do it. I played the young Calypso (her English actress mother, Rosemary Harris, played the character as an older woman) and had some very full-on scenes. I went home one day and was physically sick.
