laughing important together
For me, compatibility is a sense of humour, being able to laugh together; that is very important.
thinking relax aging
I think you have to relax about aging. What else can you do?
hair feminist bills
When I was much younger, I sometimes felt rejected by feminists because of an image that I sold because it paid the bills. Any fool could tell my hair is dyed.
mother flirting enjoy
I hope to start enjoying flirting again when I'm 70, like my mother did.
good-life thinking letters
I do still get the odd fan letter about The Good Life, clearly written by somebody aged 18, who says: Will you send a photograph? And I think: Maybe it's kinder not to. I'm deeply into my 50s now.
people negative agents
I'm sure people in the business have said: She's too old for that part. I don't hear about it because your agent protects you from those negative things.
opposites people lazy
I can be very difficult if people are not professional, or lazy - or the opposite, which is take themselves too seriously.
player land careers
It was in India that I started my acting career, courtesy of my parents, long before I set foot on stage in England. They headed a company of travelling players performing Shakespeare up and down the land.

In a play, the director is God, and I'm a great arguer. Rather boringly so, I think, about trying different things.
wine glasses small-amounts
I'm not very much of a foodie; I like small amounts of delicious things, but I've never overeaten - I'd much rather have a glass of wine.
people pet treasure
I don't treasure things much - just people. And pets.
trying six three
The gym is where I get my chill-out time. I try to go six days a week, but when I'm working, that goes down to about three.
trying chipmunks fillers
I did try fillers once. Don't ever have fillers because when your cheekbones are high, it's chipmunk time.
gorgeous classical-music gentle
I love gentle, gorgeous classical music such as Mozart.
