England Quotes

“After Titanic it would have been completely foolish for me to go and try and top that. I'm an English girl, I've always loved England, I've never felt the desire to leave it for any particular reason. And whilst I'm ambitious and care very much about what I do, I'm not competitive.

() So it was important to me after Titanic to just remind myself of why it was that I was acting in the first place, which is of course because I love it.”
