Now I am an old hag, I get to play much more interesting characters.

We used to wash our hair in buckets and survive on toasted sandwiches, chocolates and soup.

I couldn't put up with the endless make-up sessions.

There are only so many roles as empresses... but I've had a lot of offers to play vampires.

We were just appreciative to get out and play. We were rearing to go and we were so excited to be able to play.

For us, we have no problem with signing a player who can't play with Madrid. It all depends how much the player wants to play for Barcelona. We'd like him to end up playing for us.
