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.

You learn stuff from every character you play about the human condition that can be quite enlightening.

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

I'm a nice middle-class girl in real life, and I'm a mom and a grandma, and I usually play sweet characters.

No, I'm so well-known at home I think they think of me like a piece of comfortable furniture that's always been around that they're not going to throw out.

I know that Philadelphians hate New York actors passing off New York accents as Philadelphian when they are quite different.
