Actually, what I miss are people corpsing on stage.

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

Don't think I am going to let Bob Hoskins take all his clothes off and me not take a look? I just had a quick look up and down, like you would.

Most things don't work out as expected, but what happens instead often turns out to be the good stuff.

I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.

I felt quite a responsibility when I played Elizabeth I but nobody here remembers her! And then I felt a responsibility when I played Queen Victoria but not many people remember her.

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.
