When I came back to Britain, I realized that I was no longer a very young woman. I had to meet my new consciousness, my new age, with roles that reflected it somewhat.

Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.

There were some films I refused because the feminist aspect was a bit wonky.

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention.

For a century, women have binged on romance novels that encouraged them to associate intimidation with infatuation; it's no wonder that this emotional hangover still lingers.
