I used to ask him to show me various little steps that we would do in our routine, and he'd do them and I wouldn't recognize them as the thing I was trying to do.
Both my parents died from smoking, so yes, I absolutely agree with the policy. It's nice for me not to have to worry about secondhand smoke here anymore.
We played some really strong competition and made a point to do some bonding during the experience. We weren't perfect, but we certainly played a lot better after that tournament.
I was given the book to read first of all and I found it totally inspiring, arousing and very moving. I literally couldn't put it down. There is something intoxicating about Marie's belief, not just in herself, but in the children at the school and in humanity - we need that!
We were very explosive and took advantage of the opportunities that we had.
John's been steady for us and has played his heart out. It is his senior year and I can't say enough good things about him.
I'd be hopeless at directing. I'm not the type. You've got to really know what you're doing and be quite controlling. It's a very lonely job.
We have great heart and good work ethic. They weren't ready to be done.
It's bloody great to get to fifty-five. I've never been bothered about people knowing how old I am.
It's getting better generally, daily, especially in TV, for women in acting; and age and looks count less. As more women come into the business. Change of any sort takes a long time to happen.
It's just a really rich feeling on so many levels.
Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'
We relaxed and played our own style. It's a big win.
This isn't what we thought would be the outcome today. Today we kind of took a step backwards in our execution. When we create opportunities for good teams, they are going to finish them.
