I dieted all the time in the Sixties, but we had no idea what dieting meant - we thought it meant not eating anything.

I had no idea about nutrition. I thought by eating salads you'll stay skinny.

The idea of doing theatre always terrified me because I get terrible stage fright. In the early 1970s I was offered a panto but the thought of going on stage was just too mortifying.

When the doctor said I had diabetes, I conjured images of languishing on a chaise longue nibbling chocolates. I have no idea why I thought this.

A lot of young actresses have a hard time combining a reasonable love life with a career.

It is meant to be an idea factory.
