You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.
I wanted above all else not to be like my mum.
It's getting better generally, daily, especially in TV, for women in acting and age and looks count less. As more women come into the business. Change of any sort takes a long time to happen.
I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women.
Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family.
I'm massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don't really realise that.
