In my life and career I want to embrace ageing because I think that's what's interesting.

I'm smart with my money, I invest conservatively. I don't mind paying top-dollar, but I don't want to get ripped off.

I am no size zero or super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.

I haven't played a lot of wallflowers but I have played women who have been vulnerable.

I sort of have a love affair with my work. Many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.

I don't read reviews because if they're bad I'm devastated and if they're good I get a big head.

I'm certainly not a prude.
