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

I do find acting cathartic.

I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.

Truly charismatic people, in my experience, dont come along very often.

The wonderful thing about acting is you move along with your decade. The older you get, the more interesting the parts you get to play and you bring more of your personal experience to the part

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!

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