If you're not still learning and growing as an actor, then you have no backbone and no career

I think what you feel like as a teenager never really goes away. If you were teased for being fat or thin or having bad teeth, you're always insecure about that particular area of yourself. So I've never thought of myself as any kind of beauty, iconic or otherwise.

Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

I danced a lot when I was younger, and I've always had decent, shapely legs and thought it's now or never. I mean, when you're pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that's midthigh length?

Since I was 13 or 14, I've always felt older than I actually am.

In films I might look glamorous, but I've been in hair and make-up for two hours.

If I had a child, I wouldn't let them go to drama school. At times, I was really unhappy there.
