I've been married to the same man - even after the separation - longer than most people in this business. I'm sick to death of people mentioning it.

Filming is quite exciting because every day is different, but it can involve long hours standing around in chilly locations. Theatre is a very different challenge because every night you're striving to keep it fresh, even though you might have been performing the same play for months.

I'm an appalling flyer. I get very tense, although I no longer weep uncontrollably for no reason - I just sob if there's turbulence.

I managed to slip two children out in the middle of my career and have been lucky with all the work.

I've been a married man most of my life; that's the way I like it.

When I got on stage, I would have a rush of adrenaline; everybody gets it. Normally after the first night it becomes more controllable, and as long as I could ride the wave, I was still in charge.
