I do try and curb my mouth, but I find it really hard. I wonder how many jobs I've talked myself out of!

I was never, ever the ingenue. The young, innocent lead was just not me.

I love buying things. I could be one of those crazy hoarders.

I was one of those lucky people with only one talent. It is harder for people with many talents to decide what to do.

In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life.

I find running life quite hard and I like sharing that. Obviously, the companionship, being loved and loving, is fantastic. But I don't feel that I couldn't live without a boyfriend or lover or husband.

I'm crazy about ducks and swans and geese, so I don't eat foie gras. I try to eat organic.
