I hate the word wholesome.

The world is full of magical places, and the library has always been one of them for me. A library can be that special place for our children.

I am a liberated woman. And I do believe if a woman does equal work she should be paid equal money. But personally I am feminine and I do like male authority to lean on.

I was named after my two grandmothers - Julia Elizabeth.

I'm more contented and at peace with myself now than I was as a box-office queen. I'm less uptight. I've even reached a stage where it doesn't shatter me if somebody prints something bad about me.

Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.

Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
