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

Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.

Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family.

I couldn't watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up.

The money isn't a lure. I've done very well out of this business.

I was having my teens in my 30s.

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