The lines on your face are your medals. You've earned them, so why shouldn't they be worn with honour?
I just want to say to women, 'Be yourself - it's the inner beauty that counts. You are your own best friend, the key to your own happiness, and as soon as you understand that - and it takes a few heartbreaks - you can be happy.'
I'm mad keen on recycling because I'm worried about the next generation and where all this waste we're producing is going. It has to stop. I wash out my plastic containers and recycle envelopes, everything I possibly can.
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 think it's nice to age gracefully. OK, you lose the youth, a certain stamina and dewy glow, but what you gain on the inside as a human being is wonderful: the wisdom, the acceptance and the peace of mind. It's a fair exchange.

I've never felt the need to be defined by a man.
With age comes a greater wisdom, an ease and comfort with oneself.
I'd like to break some new ground, maybe in TV presenting, rather than just be an actress.
I can honestly say I love getting older. Then again, I never put my glasses on before looking in the mirror.
I think being raised by a single mother put me on the outside, and I would watch my mothers married friends and think, Why does she put him down in public? or, Why is he so rude to her? It seemed to me that there were very few marriages where the couple were genuinely in a supportive, loving partnership.
