My phrase has always been that I am looking for the versatility of theatre in film. I think I have been quite lucky in that so far.
I have no idea what my persona would be. As far as I'm concerned, I'm changing all the time.
I don't necessarily wait for that massive leading role. I want to keep the juices flowing.
In my industry, everybody wants to know everything about you, and its just dumb. I think the only way of maintaining some of that mystique is by not giving away too much about yourself. It has served me well so far. I never want to feel up for grabs.
For years, I never knowingly went on a holiday. When I travelled, it was for work. Now I am a huge advocate, particularly to places which have amazing wildlife, such as Antarctica, India and Patagonia.
My roots are still in Britain, that's where I live, that's the place where I come from.
London keeps me grounded. We don't get praised every time we open our gobs there.
Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor's trade.
And there's no way I'm going to do Dame Edna.
Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn't present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.
