Since Michael died I think I've worked constantly. Friends and colleagues are very sustaining. They're the people who get you through it... It's no good to be on your own.
I felt quite a responsibility when I played Elizabeth I but nobody here remembers her! And then I felt a responsibility when I played Queen Victoria but not many people remember her.
I would hate people to think bossy is all I can do.
Actually, what I miss are people corpsing on stage.
People think you know beforehand when you win an Oscar - I can assure you you don't.
Anything that we can do to improve the lives of elderly people is welcome so far as I am concerned.
People seem to have this idea that I've always been very ambitious. Nothing could be further from the truth.
