My phrase has always been that I am looking for the versatility of theatre in film. I think I have been quite lucky in that so far.

I'm so boring that press kind of leave me alone now. People will believe what they want to believe anyway.

If I don't believe in a role, I can't pull it off.

It's a wonderful profession, and it opens lots of doors, and I think it's quite right that people can accuse actors and actresses of being dilettante, but you learn on every job, whatever it is, the process moves you on in some way, and yeah, I want to expand my knowledge of our existence, I suppose.

It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn't really. I didn't use the beach very much at all.

We're still fighting over the same issue - equal pay.

Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn't present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.
