As I get older, I want to draw on my experience to make roles better. I see that in the older women who inspire me - their experience makes them better. Anne-Marie Duff drawexperienceinspire Change image and share on social
I think it helps to have a good old-fashioned trajectory, plodding along. Obviously one has an ego and it's really easy to have that ego tickled, but what helps me get through the night is if I concentrate on just quality of work so that I don't panic about my profile.

I didn't really know anything about Margot Fonteyn. I'd never really been a ballet child, so I had no idea what an incredibly huge icon she was, not just in terms of a creative icon - she was also a style icon. I had no idea she was up there with Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis in terms of that kind of image. Anne-Marie Duff audreyballetchild share on social
