Being a theater actor, I've done a lot of plays where I've seen someone else play the same role in another production. Especially with the classics: Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams.

I'm in fact Australian but my mother's English so I've got no problem playing a domineering English woman.

I haven't really had a major role in film for about 12 years. But I never stopped working in the theater. I do stuff back to back.

I think that's why we're always so fascinated with criminal stories because there but for the grace of God it could be us.

It wasn't on my agenda, but the thing about getting important awards is it makes the adventure of your career have a little more possibility. I think just what's happened so far is already making the opportunities more interesting, even though I'm at the twilight of my career of like 48 years.

I don't play many characters like myself. Oh I don't know what I am!

I'm always shy when I meet people I admire so I wouldn't be able to say anything rather than, 'How do you do? Love you! Bye!'
