I love when I am not typecast. I've been acting for 50 years. I was such a baby face; I was playing children until I was in my 30s, which frustrated me enormously. Now that I am 65 and getting to play women in their 50s, I am getting paid back for having to play children for so long.

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

A lioness has got a lot more power than the lion likes to think she has.

To be embraced by Hollywood when I'd been acting professionally for almost 50 years seemed unbelievable. I've been so welcomed in such a warm, generous way - it seemed crazy not to take advantage of it. I hope for another 20 years where I can still keep going.

I have no problem with my age. I've been acting for 50 years in Australia and everyone knows my age because I started at 15. So there was never any point in lying about it.

I'd love to be a voice in 'Toy Story 4.'

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