bunch drop interested people roles women
At the drop of a hat, people will say there are no roles for women after 40. It's there with a bunch of other rules I'm not interested in.
asking favorite people
People are always asking me for my favorite recipe, and I have to say, 'I don't really have one.'
people
People I've never spoken to before come up to me and give me a hug.
good people
I'm not very good with conventional, prim-and-proper people who are well-behaved, grown-up.
laughing people stories
I guess that is my favorite thing - to make people laugh and also to maybe engage them emotionally and touch them somehow in telling the story.
passion people admire
I always admire people who have passion.
people age certain
People have preconceptions about women of a certain age.
family
Visiting a show that's already established can be a bit daunting, as they've been a family already, and you're the newbie.
awful confess cook felt finding inner life
For years, I've felt that there's an inner cook in me just waiting to be unleashed. But I have to confess I'm having an awful lot of trouble finding her in real life.
finished four left
I wish I could play the piano. I started when I was four and finished when I was five. I got bored. I couldn't tell my left hand from my right back then!
best life men possible roles since turned
Since I've turned 50, I've had the best roles of my life, and I've got married. Everyone said that wasn't possible because there are no men, but I've done it. I think it's just going to get better.
asked favorite good holding looked newspapers putting quite salmon saying sunday
One of the Sunday newspapers asked me to make my favorite dish, and they photographed me holding it in the kitchen. It was roasted salmon with roasted vegetables. That's not cooking; that's putting things in a pan. It looked quite nice, but I'm not saying it was good.
martial thinks
My husband is a martial artist, and he thinks it's hilarious that I have a stage-fighting-proficiency certificate. He thinks that's ridiculous. Can't say I've used it much.
begin complete cook decent invited
I have been invited to do something called 'Celebrity MasterChef' in England, which, of course, I can't do. It's complete nonsense. You have to be a decent cook to begin with. I'd be the joke one.
