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

I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.

The characters do have a life of their own; it's weird.

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.

I'm interested in politics, what's going on in the world, how people behave and how your life is often in the hands of other people.

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

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