When I first started working, I was very aware of the fact that I'd been to university and studied Russian and French and not acting.

I don't have a big career plan. I just like to see how things come out, and I just try to keep going in different directions.		114

At Oxford University, I studied languages so I could read the great novels as they were originally written. I took what in the United States would be a double major in Russian and French, but I have to admit that the pressure of getting through so many books spoiled reading for me.		210
When I was pregnant, I had the romantic idea that after the baby was born I would not only take up reading in earnest again, but also write a novel while my daughter slept in her Moses basket.
