I'd like to break some new ground, maybe in TV presenting, rather than just be an actress. ”

I'm pretty good at getting things out of the way, especially paperwork. I hate it sitting about, as it somehow weighs me down. ”

I'd see my daddy about once a month, and I missed him. I would have loved to have had more of him. He was tall, attractive and very quiet, very gentle. He had a wife who I don't think ever really liked me much. ”

I wear my lines like a soldier wears his medals. They've been earned. They've been fought for - so there's no reason to be ashamed of them. In your 50s, you just care less about that sort of thing. I think it's to do with what's inside you. You can't obsess about the outside. ”

I didn't get attached to Botox. It is costly, and you have to remember to keep doing it. ”

It's a bit of a headache being a perfectionist. You're never satisfied. ”

I have done so many love scenes in the past that I have learned how to pull off a sexy smoulder on the dance floor. ”

I have had big relationships. Three times in my life I have felt a special connection, but people talk about looking for love as if it's just like walking into a Starbucks and buying a coffee when you feel like it. It's rare, that special connection. ”

I'm a romantic and will only marry for love where there's respect and compatibility. I'd like to be with someone if the right person came along. I really like male company. I like the male mind. ”

War is good for absolutely nothing, because no matter how far and wide apart we may live, we're all the same under the skin. We all want to live, laugh and love. ”
