I've raised daughters who are English, and I'm American, so they're culturally different to me, which is an unusual situation.

The way it works in Hollywood is that if you're hot it doesn't matter if you're right for the part or not, you're just offered it.

I'm someone who's done the opposite of whatever the received wisdom is, to keep your career going into your 50s.

My family were all into classical music, and I found that very intimidating.

North Hollywood isn't actually Hollywood, it's in the San Fernando Valley... it's not the most glamorous part of L.A.

I've got my private life - that's sacred - and I didn't have that before.

I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.
