want
I don't want to be thought of as wholesome.
thinking privacy nun
I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there's a point where one says, that's for family, that's for me.
passion thinking people
I think of part of myself as a very passionate person, but I don't think that comes across. I don't know where it comes from, that reserve or veneer of British niceness. But it doesn't bother me if other people don't spot the passion. I know it's there.
yoga work-out ballet
I work out as little as I can for as much gain as I can. Yoga and a little bit of ballet -- only 30 or 40 minutes every other day. I keep supple for myself more than for roles.
mother voice bed
As my mother said, I never sprang out of bed with a glad shout! My voice needed oiling and then it took off.
life book home
My first memoir, 'Home,' was about my childhood, early training and formative years in the Theater, i am so pleased that my good friends at the Hachette Book Group have encouraged me to share the next phase of my life, beginning with my arrival in Hollywood and the wonderful movies and television programs I was asked to be a part of.

Sometimes I'm so sweet even I can't stand it.

I play with my grandchildren. I tend to my garden, which I love. Of course, I love to read, and family is really what it's all about.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious! If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.

I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.
teacher school opportunity
Public libraries are our great teachers and storytellers, and are a vital adjunct to our schools. In this day of standardized and homogenized education, a library offers individual and personalized learning opportunities second to none.
hard-work rubbish married
As you become older, you become less judgmental and take offense less. But marriage is hard work; the illusion that you get married and live happily ever after is absolute rubbish.
Unfortunately something always has to go by the wayside.
