It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.

The writing is the springboard for your intuitive stuff and then you see, maybe a colour of what you want to achieve. Then you bring in the technique you've learnt. But when you're on film, you're not always in control of that. That's what makes me believe in a kind of collective unconscious, a sort of experience you draw on.

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

And there's no way I'm going to do Dame Edna.

For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.

Feminism was a dirty word for a while.
