People have preconceptions about women of a certain age.

I mean, I've done musicals, but it's not my best thing.

Ive not cooked Christmas dinner since 1982.

I believe anything can happen.

I get invited to a lot more glamorous parties since Ive been in Downton Abbey, which has made me much more fashion conscious.

Im an ambassador for Medical Detection dogs.

I guess that is my favorite thing - to make people laugh and also to maybe engage them emotionally and touch them somehow in telling the story.
