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

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

Vulcans are so smart. There's no excess; it's just enough. I learned coming away from the film that less really is much more. Sometimes, as a human, you get so discombobulated with emotions, but this was easier, because it was s o clean to play.

The British have been more up for it than the Americans were, particularly with respect to nudity in the show. In Europe there are adverts that show the breasts, so people are less frightened of that aspect of the show. Americans can withstand incredible violence on TV shows - which, as I come from England and Canada, I find difficult to stomach - but they are more puritanical when it comes to nudity on screen.

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'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.

The chemistry among the four of us is very strong.
