In order to be creative you have to be allowed to fail.
I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.
I can talk myself so much into my part.
The money isn't a lure. I've done very well out of this business.
That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.
Jane Austen was an extraordinary woman; to actually be able to survive as a novelist in those days - unmarried - was just unheard of.
I don't like being out of the crowd. It's lonely within a group.
As soon as I gave birth, it was as if you understand them. They become people, not kids. You start to identify with them. You see yourself in them.
Self worth is everything. Without it life is a misery.
My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want.
I wanted above all else not to be like my mum.
I don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.
We played some really strong competition and made a point to do some bonding during the experience. We weren't perfect, but we certainly played a lot better after that tournament.
We have great heart and good work ethic. They weren't ready to be done.
