As you grow older, your whole life becomes very rich, multifaceted.

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.

I do find acting cathartic.

Too often, older women are seen as victims, but I know lots of formidable women who have marvellous jobs as well as a full erotic life, and children and friends and family.

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

I am pretty self-indulgent.

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