Men say they love independence in a woman, but they don't waste a second demolishing it brick by brick.

At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.

I've never felt more comfortable in my skin, I've never enjoyed life as much and I feel so lucky.

When the writers themselves are a bit out of control, and their lives are collapsing around them, they seem to rejoice in misery and celebrate the wrong sort of things.

I don't like to watch myself on screen because in my mind there is a touch of George Clooney about me, but when I see it, there is more than a little Donkey from 'Shrek' about me.
