I couldn't imagine playing someone young now; it would be so boring

When I was starting out, young actresses had the studio system to protect them. Now you have a host of sharks, from your agent to your publicist to your lawyer.

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

I’m the same weight now as I’ve always been-even before having children-but I have to say there’s been a redistribution of the flesh!

I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.

Some actors get fired up by the sound of the audience. I just want to retreat.

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.
