“I think I'm a better actress for having friends and interests outside the theatre. I wouldn't want to live my life surrounded by other actors all the time.”

“Older people, who just happen to have been around longer, may not be cleverer than the young, but they have seen more.”

“Everyone wants instant everything, and they want instant success, but I always think you should treat things in the arts like a garden, and let them grow.”

“We have this wonderful language and we don't appreciate it. That's old-fashioned me, but when I went to school, everyone had elocution lessons, not to sound posh but so you could be understood.”
