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.

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

I was a real art freak when I was a teenager.

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

A script is only as good as the director who's making it.

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