I used to hate being recognised.

I came to understand that people come and see you because they like you. They don't come to throw things at you.

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

I think, being an actress, you know that you're getting old. I'm 44. I mean, an agent said when I turned 40, "It won't get better."

I like to play roles different from myself so I can hide behind them.

I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
