I'm writing a novel about two actresses who go to New York, because that's what I know about. One has lost touch with reality, disappears and is picked up by a man. |
Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family. |
It's very strong after the birth. It's extraordinary. You can't watch anything to do with kids being harmed. |
I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles. |
It seems that when you get to a certain age you almost give yourself permission to misbehave and say what you think. People allow it, with very old people. |
The money isn't a lure. I've done very well out of this business. |
I was having my teens in my 30s. |
I'm more selective now I've got a family. I don't want to work all the time. My daughter's 12; I don't want to miss out on her life. Soon she'll be a teenager; she won't want me around. |
Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve. |
I never had any acting heroes. I never really went to the theatre. |
I wanted above all else not to be like my mum. |
I don't like being out of the crowd. It's lonely within a group. |
I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her. |
I couldn't watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up. |
