It makes me feel resilient when you tackle different things.

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.

I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.

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

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

I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.

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.
