Everything, every part that you approach has to be somehow rooted in yourself. You have to somehow root everything so that it's not just words coming out of you.

I've got what my ma had, macular degeneration, which you get when you get old.

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.

It is true that there are few plays of Shakespeare that I haven't done.

The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?

I don't really want to retire. I intend to go on working as long as I can because I still have a huge amount of energy.

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