Performance became part of my art in a way - expressing things and emotion.

And it's as you get older that you realize that the things that make you strange are the things that make you who you are. And that's a lovely place to get to.

I really enjoy auditions anyway because I think that even if you come out of them, and you go in once and it never goes anywhere, there is something that you bring out of it or a note that will come back to your agent and that's the way you learn.

You never think you're as old as you're ever going to get.

I don't mind giving everyone a shock - including myself.

I've been told I make a very good brew.

My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.
