You are either old souls who connect and share the same interest... or you are not.
It's like finding oneself amongst friends. People look at you as if they like you. That is, until they actually get to know you.
Working with Daddy - it's sort of like playing tennis against somebody, instead of just hitting them into a hedge where they sort of go in, you know.
There are some fantastic, brilliant alternative doctors out there.
I mean, there's not an awful lot of limelight. Perhaps at premieres and the pictures and the people; that's all exciting. But the actual work, like today: it's just work; it's just the work I happen to do instead of going to an office and being a secretary or in a shop, you know?
If ever I feel I might be able to tackle it, I'd love to try holding a spear or something in the theater, or opening a door, or anything, just to try it, you know, because it must be some marvelous magic thing.
My sons are precious to me and I have tried incredibly hard to strike the right balance between work and home life while being acutely aware that I haven't always got it right.
My father was an inspiration to me; I made a few movies with him and I loved working with him. Everything about him - his whole approach to work, as well as his love, enthusiasm and respect for it and other people in the business - was inspiring. I was very lucky to have him as a role model.
My best feature is my hair.
Once cancer happens it changes the way you live for the rest of your life.
I live in jeans and own a lot of them. I'm much more comfortable in trousers and T-shirts, and I don't often wear dresses.
Wherever I am in the world, I never get Sunday night blues. I suppose it's because I've never worked at any one thing long enough to start hating it.
Roses are my favourite flower, and my mum always grew a lot of them.
I always say a tremendous amount of healing is in your own hands.
