I can sleep anywhere! I can come off stage during the interval of a play, lie down for four minutes then wake up feeling better.

As I've got older, I feel more confident in my body, so wouldn't want to tamper with it.

I've often sat down with people talking about a film I've been in, and they haven't realized I was in it.

My own parents were very un-neurotic, so I never thought that I had to change enormously in order to become a parent.

I spent my teenage years in Paris when my dad was stationed there, and I'd look at women in their forties and think, 'That's the age I want to be.'

I was lucky to learn early in life that you need money for food and shelter, but there's no ambition in having money in the bank for the sake of it!

When I was 14 I told my mother I intended to be in the House of Commons in the morning, in court in the afternoon and on stage in the evening. She realised then a fantasist had been born.
