Actually, I'm looking forward to being 50. Because to me, that's when a woman is at the pinnacle of her femininity and her womanhood.

America is such a nation of suppressed emotion, and when you arrive in L.A., you can smell the fear. It's the most alien country I've ever been to.

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

Every time, at any point of my life, I think now is always the best age to be.

Working in films, there are hundreds of odd moments.

So often when you meet child actors, they're weird - they're freaks. No, I mean it, they're really odd people.

What really matters to me is what my peers think.
