I've three children, three grandchildren, I work, I travel, and I'm very happily married. I'm very satisfied and happy with my life and there really isn't anything I want.

But I have had to give up certain things in my life. One is shopping. Two is lunch with the girls. Three is cocktail parties, and four is studying my lines.

So-called designer bags are useless, and most are also ugly, faddish and overpriced. Pared down and sleek is always best.

I am a fan of marriage and a fan of being committed to the right person.

One of the rules about being an actor or an actress is that you never diss other actors or actresses, particularly when you don't know them.
