The word 'circumnavigate' is quite a beautiful word.

I think Pilates is great, especially when you can do it with a trainer who keeps you on track.

My husband wasn't put off by it - he thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as Dylan! He didn't particularly want to kiss me with stubble all over my face - it felt a bit odd! But I think he's used to it [the make-up process].

Of course one worries about getting older - we're all fearful of death, let's not kid ourselves. I'm simply not panicking as my laugh lines grow deeper. Who wants a face with no history, no sense of humor?

Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.

I love those moments on stage, on screen and in life when you dispense with language, when you sort of transcend it in a way, and certainly the experience of falling in love, I think, defies words, which is why poets, painters, musicians, actors have tried to describe that feeling, writers have just tried to put words to that.

I think it's always good to take on things that at first seem bigger than you. Then you just try and surmount them.
