I've never felt stigmatized in my profession, nor have I allowed myself to. I don't feel either male or female, I feel I am just me, and I should be able to do whatever I like.

Somebody referred to me as a ringleader, which I wouldn't have classed myself as, but anyway, there you go.

You can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.

I would rather do many small roles on TV, stage or film than one blockbuster that made me rich but had no acting.

I wouldn't want to go back to my 20s; they were pretty angst-laden times.

If you only took on roles that had the same qualities, then I suppose it might make a critic feel better, if he can see some kind of bedrock. Perhaps that's the old definition of a star, someone who's always going to come up with the same goods. But it intimates limitation to me and I don't want to think of the job like that.

Why did I not stop to have children? I suppose because the opportunity didn't present itself. Yes, many women feel they are not complete without having children, but I have different creative outlets.

It's a wonderful profession, and it opens lots of doors, and I think it's quite right that people can accuse actors and actresses of being dilettante, but you learn on every job, whatever it is, the process moves you on in some way, and yeah, I want to expand my knowledge of our existence, I suppose.
