love-is interesting people
I suppose middle-aged love is interesting for middle-aged people.
calling less lovely relying responsibility totally wonderful
When somebody's calling you 'Mommy,' it's a wonderful thing. But also to have that responsibility and to know that you and your partner have this little thing that's totally relying on you - and it made me, I suppose, less selfish. Not that I was mega-selfish to start with, but it's lovely having that responsibility. It's scary.
catching house love mascara priority simply time work
When I go out, I love to put on mascara and lipstick, but I simply don't have time for leisurely facials and treatments. Going to the beauticians is not a priority for me, as when I'm off work, there is always so much catching up in the house to do.
bank became came gone joined nobody outside school teacher town whatever
Because I came from a small town outside Glasgow, nobody from my school had ever gone into the acting profession. It was just something you didn't do. You joined the bank or became a teacher or whatever you did.
people
Why do people want to kill and maim and pillage? We're all in it together.
success
Sadly, my father died before I graduated, so he didn't see any of the success at all.
ground parts quite thinner
It's true as a woman, particularly: the older you get, the parts get thinner on the ground and not quite as interesting, that's for sure.
adds great playing
It's great playing a mature character. It adds something.
If you're going out for a meal with friends, and they say they can't afford to go to such and such a place, you can't force them to afford it.
I think it's healthy to say, 'I'm 58 and, do you know what, this is what a 58-year-old woman looks like.'
I don't think you can underestimate how much carers need some support.
home listen radio tv
I am not much of a TV addict, and if I have a day off, and I'm pottering around at home, I will always listen to Radio 4.
