What really matters to me is what my peers think.

Theatre is liberating because it only works if it's truthful, That's what it requires. That's not true of film: the camera does lie.

I feel as though my life is bathed in golden sunlight. And the really wonderful thing is that I know it.

If you're constantly frightened of being unhappy, how bloody exhausting must that be?

What really matters to me is what my peers think.

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 listen to Radio 4 all the time. I didn't go to university, so that's my further education.
