I think some people think that being on television makes you a sitting duck, but you have the right to remain private.

I have been acting for 32 years now and I feel so lucky to be able to have done exactly what I wanted to do.

I think some people think that being on television makes you a sitting duck, but you have the right to remain private.

If I want to run around a field when I'm 70, I would like to have that option.

I always start from scratch with a character - they're never based on anyone else. You get ideas of what people look like, and I'm a great people watcher. You can draw inspiration from people.

Whatever I'm doing, I try to give it everything.

I still love coming into work everyday after so many years working as an actress. I've been working more or less continuously and I find I have to really want to do the project to make it work because you have to put such an enormous amount of effort into it.
