I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.

I'd like to think there'll be too much of real life going on for me to want to do much acting.

When I think of the future, I think of doing my washing so I've something to wear tomorrow.

I don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.

I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.

I'd love to be in another film, but they haven't asked me. I think it's a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.

It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.
