My father is Jewish, and I look exactly like him My mother is British, but she's of French extraction.

I've always maintained that there is a very fine line between a daring, sexy older woman and mutton dressed as lamb.

My mother use to call me 'Miss Perpetual Motion' because I rarely keep still.

The endless bonking was exhausting me.

And I used to write novels and little stories and compositions and I - but I put them away because I started acting when I was 17. So there wasn't much time.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40 so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

Every time an article is written about me or any of my contemporaries who's had the fortune and discipline to look good at a certain age, I am struck by the tone of astonishment, and the certainty that something is being done secretively to beat the devil.
