I think dieting is bad for you.

I do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes.

I do it because I love acting, I love working, and whether it's radio, television, films, theater, I don't care as long as I can get out there and do it.

I think you always have to use certain parts of yourself in any role.

I have a lot of male friends that I go the cinema with and movie and shopping. A lot of men friends I know love shopping.

Doing 20 minutes of stretching, light weights and floor exercises three times a week takes the same amount of time as a long coffee break - and eating a tuna fish salad, sardines on toast or scrambled eggs is surely preferable to a Big Mac or KFC.

I received an OBE from the Queen, which probably doesn't mean anything in America but is quite nice in England - the Order of the British Empire for services to drama.
