I need to learn every day.

I played Iris Murdoch, who had not long died, and I felt the responsibility very heavy on my shoulders.

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it.

Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.

I've always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I've done. Mainly because I don't do it well. But it's like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind.

I need to learn every day.

I have a completely new knee. It's brilliant. I am not feeling my age at all. I feel about 43, a willowy blonde 43 years old with long legs.
