I think it really holds you back having to think about your image.

Then Mission Impossible brought me to Australia and that was great because I fell in love.

I did the figure of Diana in V, a cult TV show seen all over the world.

I think some people in their 20s really get it, that acting is about creativity and the work. They get their maturity from their work.

It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don't hanker for it.

And that might have led to other shows but you know what LA is like. I was in my early 30s and it wasn't going to get easier. You know, that's when you start to wonder if you might have to get lots of plastic surgery.

Like at Halloween: I knew I'd arrived when I saw people dressing up on Halloween as my character.
