One of the reasons I wanted to teach deaf children was because it made me very sad that they spoke so clumsily and that they moved with less grace that I knew was possible of deaf people.

I'm lucky that most of the time I'm on location in amazing places. Most of the time, I don't need holidays, I just stop working.

My worst holiday was in Athens when I was a young drama student at Rada in 1965. I ran out of money. I had my things stolen and I wasn't able to speak a word of the language.

I can not remember even thinking that I was deaf when I was dancing.

I genuinely enjoy talking one-to-one. I have no shyness about that.

I'm the one by the backdoor - I am not the one in the middle of the party.
