I think one wants lots of different lives.

I was always very determined, as was my husband, that we wouldn't let any of our children act when they were young.

I know some actresses who used to be older than me who are now younger than me - I don't know how they do it.

Acting has been very useful to me.

Of all the things I do, acting is the thing that grabs most, but there's another level on which it strikes me as being a little silly. In the end you're dressing up and deciding to be somebody.
