Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention

I basically put myself into directors' hands and let them tell me what to do, and the more they told me what to do, the more I liked it.
