I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.

At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.

I have never given up on men easily.

My looks are changing obviously, so I fuss like any woman if I look tired or whatever, I put on weight and blah, blah. But some part of me is very relaxed with it all.

Being around people with whom you feel a connection, on many levels, not just a professional one, is very relaxing. Your ears are more open to someone who is not a cantankerous bastard.

I'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.

My view is quite simple. When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give away your dog. You say, This dog is special. I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet. I feel exactly the same way about men. They need to be taught things.
