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

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 didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.

There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'

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

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 don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.
