I take care of myself, which includes dieting, exercising and minimising stress. I joke that I've been on a diet since 1974, which is basically true.

The roles for women in theatre are much better than they are in film.

I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.

I think the wonderful thing about doing theater is that it's more of an actor's medium. I think that film is more of a director's medium. You can't edit something out on stage. It's there.

Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.

I had a great time in my youth and I still feel youthful. I've no desire to look as though I'm in my 20s.

I like my life. It's good.
