It was certainly a good death scene. I'm endlessly perishing in roles but it's a wonderful thing to be asked to do.

I've always been brought up to stand on my own two feet and not rely too heavily on everyone else around me.

Older men are wiser and that is much cooler to me. Ive never been one for going out clubbing or getting off my head, so I always gravitated to men who were similar. They just tended to be older. I think you have more of an adventure with an older man. And a happier journey.

I met Jack Nicholson when I was about 10 at a party of my uncles, and it wasnt so much that I knew his films because I was small, but he wore sunglasses inside at night and I thought that must mean he was very important and was suitably star struck by his charismatic presence.

My parents never pressured me except to advise me against acting.

I am a single mother - that is the reality.
