As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.

   

Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.

   

When I came back to Britain, I realized that I was no longer a very young woman. I had to meet my new consciousness, my new age, with roles that reflected it somewhat.
