Nobody can prepare you for the loss of a parent.

My best friend is my husband.

I grew up without the rose-tinted look at the profession many of my friends had, but I've been very lucky playing major roles in 'An Ideal Husband', 'Arcadia' and 'The Memory of Water'.

I think one of the most important things I can give my children is the right to be themselves.

I have to be careful what I eat before going onstage, to avoid an upset stomach.

Inside my heart, there's a 12-year-old girl who has always wanted to be Ginger Rogers.

Not a lot of people know this, but I'm very good at mathematics. When I was an angry teenager, I used to sit in my room and do quadratic equations to calm myself down.
