I have yet to see a drama that puts forward women who are successful and also have a family... they are nearly always seen as victims.

Exposure makes you famous, not just good work. Famous is being plastered everywhere.

I never pursued being 'famous.'

You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It's very exciting to test yourself.

The funny thing is I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all I've never had a husband.

I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.

The minute anyone's getting anxious I say, You must eat and you must sleep. They're the two vital elements for a healthy life.

I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.

After all my various relationships I find myself now home alone.

However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship. We all need them.
