I use my awards as doorsteps. Others are in the office or in little cubbyholes in our library – they go between the books, because they actually look like arty pieces

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

I think it's very important not to grow up with the unhealthy amount of attention that is sometimes put on people because they are 'actors'.

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

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