I’m the same weight now as I’ve always been-even before having children-but I have to say there’s been a redistribution of the flesh!
I don't really have an image of myself. Now, is that true? Well, maybe I do and it's different, which is why I get shocked when I see how other people experience me. I see myself primarily in a domestic setting.
I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.
I do find acting cathartic.
The thing about doing anything artificial to your hair is that you have to look after it. So you're always vulnerable to the weather and time
I couldn't imagine playing someone young now; it would be so boring
It's not so much the dressing up, but I love the idea of moving and existing in a different time.
I don't want three million people digesting my private life over their cornflakes.
You can love more than one person in your life, but things will be different. There'll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change.
I'm often asked if I regret not going to Hollywood. I'm glad I didn't go, because if I had I wouldn't have my extended family, which is the fabric of my life. Only recently have I realised how special and unusual it is.
I go on giving interviews because I've been brought up to support the projects I'm involved in. When you've enjoyed working on a production, you want to do them a favour.
I don't believe in expending energy on something you can't do anything about. If there was some easy way of fixing things, I'd probably do it.
I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and have a family. Women are nearly always seen as victims.
We all know now that people can look good for their age. It isn't so extraordinary, I don't know why people go on about it so much.
I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone's 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
I didn't choose to be an actress
I've always kept fit but I've been doing gym and yoga and will be throwing my stilettoes away for a while!
