It's your body, your life. Do what you want to do.

The first professional play I ever saw was The Importance Of Being Earnest, and I just fell in love.

I'm a woman of a certain age who doesn't have kids and never really settled down ... I enjoy kids but not for long periods. I think they're adorable and funny and sweet, and then I have a headache.

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.

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.

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.
