When I didn't get a job, I thought, 'Don't worry, there'll be another one.' I still live by that now. Nothing really fazes me any more.
Wales is blessed with some truly magnificent castles, full of history and a must see for visitors.
To be able to work with people who I have respected and admired, to be a part of something like the Cannes Film Festival, is surreal and brilliant.
Most of the time, you do films and they can be big films, but you are rarely aware of the fan base that comes with it.
It was never really part of my plan to be in films; it was really sort of a dream.
In the future, I would like to do more films with contemporary themes. Perhaps comedy, which is something I have done in theater but not in cinema.
In all honesty, I should have given up this acting lark years ago.
I've dabbled in period films in my career, and I've enjoyed each one.
I've always said that theater was where I began, so everything I do now has a bit of my theater background in it. It was my training.
I think starting a cinema career late in life has more advantages than disadvantages.
I think heroes are the people that go into houses when they're on fire and save people in hospitals.
I look in the mirror, and I don't mind what I see.
I just love the sound of a black woman's voice.
I had a very lovely childhood, and, being an only child, I'm very close to my mom and my dad.
