I always assumed that like my mother before me, one day I would have children.

My curiosity and my appetite for evolving as an actor is one of the main components of me still working today in the business.

I try not to listen to the shoulds or coulds, and try to get beyond expectations, peer pressure, or trying to please - and just listen. I believe all the answers are ultimately within us.

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

What I wear is a reflection of where I am going and how I am feeling. If Im in a good mood, its got to be cashmere and jeans - just something comfy, soft and warm. When Im down, I might find something that I havent worn for a while that was bought for me - or wear a brooch or a pair of shoes that are like old friends.

Your dressing area should be your private space.

When I got out of my Twenties I stopped playing women that were victims. I like playing women who are strong and have a piece of mind.
