regret thinking important
I do think it's important to live in the present because in that way you won't be living in a state of regret.
thinking people tabloids
I don't buy the tabloids, but you're surrounded by it all and people tell you things they've read. I'd be sitting on a train looking over someone's shoulder and thinking: That's familiar... oh my God, it's me.
thinking media circus
I don't think the media circus has ever been a shock to my life seeing as I was with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor when I was 17.
thinking people looks
If people think I look good, it's the make-up.
men thinking europe
Thank God we're not like America. Everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we admire grown-up women; I think men revere older women.
school thinking play
I was seen dancing at school by a director, who asked me to be in a TV play. And it had a huge impact. So I think thats what really started me off.
thinking years giving
I can feel the 60S looming. In my profession, I've just moved along with my age. By thinking in decades, rather than whether someone's 42 or 47, you can give yourself a whole 10 years to turn yourself around in.
thinking people looks
I think people have surgery for psychological reasons more than because of their looks.
coming happened home maintain public rather view
I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my w0rk and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here . . .
goes mean passing regret stage
It's like a fire. It goes through a journey, and each stage is interesting. I don't regret the passing of time. I try to live in the present, which should mean my life's full.
sad
I'm not bothered or sad about being on my own - after all, I've never had a husband.
family
I come from a very hospitable, close, Catholic, matriarchal family.
came definitely family madly marry meant wealthy worked
My mother was madly adventurous. My father was an actor - he worked with Gielgud - and my mother came from a very wealthy family. She definitely wasn't meant to marry an actor, but she eloped with him one lunch-time.
basically camera films love loving people speaking work
In films people basically work for the camera, you know, and that's why actors can hate each other and not be speaking to each other and still look as if they're in love because really they're loving the camera loving them.
