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

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've had lots of good career advice over the years. I've learned that you must always arrive knowing your lines, you must hit your marks, you must be punctual and cheerful and kind. I'm always irritated with young people who misbehave and young actors who are temperamental. I don't think there's any need for it.

I love a bit of a sequin and a bead. I do, even though I usually wear trousers, when I put a frock on. I like a bead or a sequin.

I'm good at not laughing. It's not that I don't want to. I'm too old and experienced.

I love getting presents. And awards. I'd do whatever they told me to do.

I was an adventurer, and I got married a few times. I kept trying to find a relationship as good as my parents'.
