It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people.

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

I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.

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.

It's very strong after the birth. It's extraordinary. You can't watch anything to do with kids being harmed.

I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.

I can talk myself so much into my part.
