I think very few people do find a relationship where, every moment of every day, everything they do comes together. That's why, in a nutshell, everyone loved Barbara in 'The Good Life.' She was the perfect partner. It was a formula. She wasn't glamorous. She wasn't clever. But she was a good partner. That's too easy, too perfect.

I hope to start enjoying flirting again when I'm 70, like my mother did.

Success breeds success, and failure leads to a sort of fallow period.

I think you have to relax about aging. What else can you do?

I can be very difficult if people are not professional, or lazy - or the opposite, which is take themselves too seriously.

The girl-next-door image is a sort of joke; for years, I couldnt get any roles other than as somebody dark.

I don't take money seriously, so I can't keep any.
