I never pursued being 'famous.'

I don't need a piece of paper to suggest that I can commit myself.

I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.

If people think I look good, it's the make-up.

The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.

I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation.
