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

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 used to suffer from excessive pride. Well, I got over that one.

Each decade, I've lived in that decade, so I could easily shed the '20s, the '30s, the '40s.

Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.

I've always kept fit but I've been doing gym and yoga and will be throwing my stilettoes away for a while!

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