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

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

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

I can understand why people get annoyed at being remembered for one thing, but a lot of actors aren't remembered for anything. I don't mind that.

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

I'm massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don't really realise that.

There is this idea that appealing to youth is the only way forward. But that is no longer the case. Youth is not everything. Now we have all the baby-boomers in their 60s, like me, who are actively engaged in life - we're not retiring, we're not just being put out to grass once we hit 60.
