I couldn't watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up.

I'm writing a novel about two actresses who go to New York, because that's what I know about. One has lost touch with reality, disappears and is picked up by a man.

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.

My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want.

I'm too young at 50. I'm not grown up yet. There's part of everybody like that.

In order to be creative you have to be allowed to fail.
