I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.

There are some brilliant designers but their clothes only really suit 6 foot 20-year-olds.

However much some journalists may criticize me, I know that I look, feel, and behave several decades younger than my actual age, and much of that is because I believe you are what you think you are. This is called positive affirmation, and it's a really strong tool.

I have never been the mousy, stand-two-paces-behind, obedient 'little woman' type.

I have always tried to live my life with enthusiasm and pleasure.

Of course it's true: the public want to see young people - young people are the people who go to the cinema. It's a sad fact of life, but you've got to accept it and not whine about it.

Life is a predator: you have to eat it before it eats you.
