I'd love to be in another film, but they haven't asked me. I think it's a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.

I'm interested in politics, what's going on in the world, how people behave and how your life is often in the hands of other people.

Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It's got labels on it - OAP, retirement - and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again.

I wanted above all else not to be like my mum.

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

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

The way I relax is I think, 'I haven't got anything coming up.' I like to know there are months ahead when I've got nothing.
