I've never done so much bloody crying in my life. I was always moaning about how hard it was when we were shooting, how awful I felt.

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

That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.

Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family.

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

I was having my teens in my 30s.

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