Psychologists say don't expect your life to be happy all the time. I go with the philosophy that every day can't be tops. Life is not like that - it's up and down.

A career is a career, but you're a mother until you die.

It seems unfair that anyone can set up on Twitter using my name, or the name of any famous person, without any checks at all.

The reason why people are huge stars is nothing to do with acting. It's the magic. Charisma is a word that's used too often; it's something special, and it's what makes stars. It's luck, and basically, it's genes.

I'm very expressive, but I'm also a very private person. It is so hard to be private in the entertainment business.

I am a great believer in naps, whatever age you are.

I've always been a creative person, and I'd always wanted to paint, so I went to art school and began painting and sculpting.

I worked with Roger Moore on three episodes of 'The Saint.' He is a lovely man, a good director, and was my favourite actor to work with.
