I'm an appalling flyer. I get very tense, although I no longer weep uncontrollably for no reason - I just sob if there's turbulence.

I've been married to the same man - even after the separation - longer than most people in this business. I'm sick to death of people mentioning it.

I'm very shocked when I look at television and I see such an aggressive youth and image obsession in the representation of women on our screens.

I managed to slip two children out in the middle of my career and have been lucky with all the work.

My best friend is my husband.

I think that as you get older, you become aware of everything that could go wrong.

My nickname is Bondy. But not because of the Bond films - it was my surname a long time before I did those.
