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

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.

As we have more women in power, so the plays and the TV dramas are reflecting what's happening.

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

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

When I was little I always thought I was marked out, special, on the verge of something momentous. I used to tingle with anticipation.

Every woman feels she is too old and has missed the boat.
