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

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 have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.

I don't want three million people digesting my private life over their cornflakes.

My parents were hugely supportive like that. I was always the best - it's so embarrassing, isn't it? I was always the best at everything.

I do find acting cathartic.
