thinking different want
I think one wants lots of different lives.
jobs thinking actors
An actor's job is about putting across the author's intention; I don't think of myself on the same level as a creator.
struggle writing thinking
I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve.
advocating cake cooking intense kitchen life pleasure proportion putting rediscover short table time work
I'm not advocating we should all be back in the kitchen and cooking all the time, because life's too short and we've got more interesting things to do. But to rediscover the intense pleasure of making a cake and putting it down on the table is ridiculously satisfying, out of all proportion to the work.

I know some actresses who used to be older than me who are now younger than me - I don't know how they do it.

There's also something of an illusion in that, you can perhaps record a TV thing one month and complete a book the next and then be in a play. Then, if they all come out at once, it looks as if you're actually juggling a million things.

My parents were not theatrical at all.

I've never particularly liked the idea of looking back; I'd rather look forward

I adore food and always have.

I swim more or less every day.
children reality doubt
As a child, I wanted to marry a farmer, but no doubt the reality would have been very different to the idyll in my head.
orange shade red
My mum taught me that redheads shouldn't wear pink, red or orange, but if you choose the right shade, such as a bright orange or a cherry red, it can look fabulous.
