Polly Walker Quotations

It was cherry syrup, very sticky, very sweet, very cold. I wouldn't recommend it.

She's hugely powerful. She should really be the emperor herself.

I love cooking. People seem to enjoy my food, but I absolutely love it. I'm one of those people who will buy a cookery book and take it to bed and read it.

I was married to an Italian, and my son was born there. I've got lots of connections there, and I lived in the north, in the country about an hour outside of Milan, for quite a few years. I speak fluent Italian.

Sometimes Italian fashion, especially in the summer, is bright and gaudy and tarty, so I'd be buying these bright pink and bright orange things, and when I got home, I'd just go, 'What was I thinking? I can't wear this!'

If I wasn't an actress, I'd like to cook. I'm pretty obsessed by it. Rome was great in that sense, going to amazing cookery bookshops. No wonder their food is good because the quality and wide range of their produce is so good. It's not fair, really.

It's her currency. She's not a bimbo, not a playmate. She has an objective in all this.

I have huge admiration for this character. A lot of people might consider her to be sort of evil or bad, but I think she's wonderful. She's very complex and she's just a survivor, doing what she's got to do.
