I'm too young at 50. I'm not grown up yet. There's part of everybody like that.

You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.

I was feeling very irritable. It was that difficult time of the month when the credit card statement arrives.

I never had any acting heroes. I never really went to the theatre.

I've never done so much bloody crying in my life. I was always moaning about how hard it was when we were shooting, how awful I felt.

It's getting better but men still earn more and there are more jobs for them. Ageism is a big thing. Parts for women disappear as you get older.

Self worth is everything. Without it life is a misery.
