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

Some of the most interesting questions needing to be asked today can best be asked on television, or on stage, and they can be wonderful, great dramas, but they won't necessarily be blockbusters.

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

I never had any acting heroes. I never really went to the theatre.

I keep seeing myself in my daughter, and I see my mother in me and in her. Bloody hell.

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