I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.

Everyone has class, one class or another.

I go on giving interviews because I've been brought up to support the projects I'm involved in. When you've enjoyed working on a production, you want to do them a favour.

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

The first thing you have to do is accept that decay sets in and there's nothing you can do about it.

I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.

From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can't speak a word of it now.
