The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.

A lot of young actresses have a hard time combining a reasonable love life with a career.

Generally, I'm a pretty positive, but like any other working person, if the jobs aren't coming in, I do get depressed.

I'm a very physical person. I like to run and I like to work out.

I believe you need scientific proof that something works before you entrust your health to it.

As for the stage fright, it never goes away. When I'm waiting in the wings to go on, it's agony every single time but I stay focused and I know that once I'm on stage it'll be fine; I'll be in my happy little bubble.

I am planning my one woman show. It will be a showcase of my life. It starts at the beginning and ends where I am today. It will have every single inch of my life - as much as you can get into an hour. I will be touring everywhere.
