I can talk myself so much into my part.

I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean.

We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing - dreams of escape.

It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.

I do find it therapeutic, writing about stuff that was frightening and painful as a child, and managing to see it from an adult's point of view. To get it out of the closet onto paper, metaphorically speaking, is therapeutic.

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.
